I intend to add animation support "soon" in my Milkshape loader. It's on
the TODO list.
Milkshape can import 3DS models and save them out in native format. If
you've got a 3DS model with animation data, load it up into Milkshape and
see if the animations are preserved. Or send it to me. None of the 3DS
models I have here have animations. I'd like to know if it works.
