How does 3D animation work

by Will O-Reagan · in Torque X 2D · 05/23/2008 (2:41 pm) · 1 replies

Can someone give a small breakdown of how animation works when it comes to complex models and shapes? I have seen the boombot do some really cool movement with its legs, but I can't seem to figure out how they are being rendered like that.. any advice would be great
