So only the matrix will be changed, if you move to a new frame right?But
that makes it impossible to have the scene changed(in example, in frame 2 a
weapon is added) right?
My main reason to use my own structures(classes to be precise) was that
rendering 60000+ polygons got really slow, and now i'm trying to optimize my
rendering code as much as possible. Collision detection wouldn't be sucha a
big deal, because I only need a couple of vertices per node(4 if i'm
correct).
And I have a final question: The source code of player.c makes it look like
a node can hold a maximum of one mesh because it gets the mesh using
lib3ds_file_mesh_by_name([..]). I always thought that a node could contain
more than just one mesh(that a node was to group meshes).

=======================================================
Merry Christmakah,
Case 2, which requires more "memory" (Case 1, rebuilding the mesh for
every frame should only be done for morhping)...Case 2 requires memory
allocated per keyframe and in-betweening is interpreted based on the tcb
data.
I have done what you have basically described you want to do, I use
lib3ds to drive my animation, but at render time I call my 3DS structures.
I haven't bothered to strip out the mesh definations from loading 3ds
into lib3ds, so I waste some memory by storing the mesh twice (as my
custom structure and a as a lib3ds structure). I will tell you
this...lib3ds has a very poor implementation of materials/shaders...and I
am glad I don't use lib3ds structures for that.
It sounds like you want to get the final vertex positions in "world"
coordinates after all the animation matrices have been applied? for
collision detection?
