OSG and > osgCal have all other things. Skeleton animation is actually probably the trickiest part. Getting animations to blend right and to mix right, allowing procedural animation (bones driven by an algorithm, not just keyframe interpolation) and such are quite a big deal. That is why I am not so enthusiastic about ripping out Cal3D - nobody has so far offered to do this hard part.
