This is not a simple problem. In simple terms you need to;
1 Starting with an articulated model with the desired moveable elements
haveing thier axies where the joints would be.
2 Set up transform group for each movable node
3 Build a heirachy with those objects (you can group them together as
one node but is easy to organise and debug in a heirachy).
4 Apply transformations to nodes
This whole proccess is about a billion times easier to achieve decent
results with the help of animation tools such as Character studio, Poser et.
al.
Hope this helps
