Hey Sylvian

the old Animator class extended the mesh class and only did a set of limited
vertex-related animation techniques. The new Animator class is a generic
animator, and allows any number of animation techniques to branch from it.
The most direct replacement of the old class, however, is the VertexAnimator
class. Here you create arrays of Number3D objects rather than submitting
arrays of vertex objects (Number3D is a lot more efficient) and can build
animations in a very similar way from scratch. The major difference is that
you cannot use the vertices array from different objects - you have to
create number3d arrays that are added using the addFrame method of the
VertexAnimator. Because of this, we may introduce a method that iterates
through the vertices of an existing object and does this conversion for you,
but for now you'll have to do it by hand.

cheers
