There is an animation object (see tutoriel lesson 011), though it currently only supports moving objects relatively to other one (and not moving each point of an object); it corresponds to your first proposition (Create each appendage as a separate object...). We are planning to support also the other way (we call that "Morph")... Slune does not use animation currently. Textures has been done with free software like the Gimp, and 3D model with Blender and / or the soya editor (quite a hack; see soya_editor). The Blender import script is still unstable, since the Blender Python API is not finalized, but we are planning to get a better integration latter. > Commercial or shareware programs are not an option for me right now, > only freeware.
