Unfortunately, probably not.

Apparently I'm a complete and utter jerk and come to this forum just like to make fun of people, be confrontational, and make your personal life miserable.  If you think this is the case, JUST REPORT ME.  Otherwise you're just going to get reported when you reply to my posts and point it out, because odds are, I was trying to be nice.

DO NOT PM ME WITH PROBLEMS. No help will be given.

There's no program for animating the models commonly used.

Nor does the file format for 3d models support animational data (.Obj only stores model information for 1 single frame).

 

There are workaround to this of course.

But none of them is easier than creating your own custom animation data and model importer, which is not easy to put it simply :P

If you guys dont get it.. then well ya.. try harder...

"easiest" way is to make an array of models, each representing a single frame of the animation

 

but there are multiple visual, programatical and ressource problem associate with that method

And would not account for partial ticks.  You'd have no way to calculate the inbetweens.

frame interpolation being one of those, of course if the model is animated at 60 fps then this will not really show up in game. but you WILL get interpolation problem when you change from one animation to another.

 

somebody should really take a day and make a colladae parser+renderer for minecraft
