How hard would this be to do? Set the Objects you want to be animated in a model, run the plugin, and create a series of keyframes to make animations. then just smooth them together.
I want to make a plugin for this sort of thing, but if it's something that simply can't be done then I'm not going to waste my time on it.

I think you can take one of the old animator object thingies and try making an animation, saving it, then re-loading the place and finding out if it still works.
I heard rumors that animations are admin-only (that they have to be uploaded or something). |

there was a tool someone made a while back that could let users create animations. They worked with the same concept as the user made meshes, just open them in edit and they will show up.
They broke when they nuked all the user made items, I've never tired making an animation with the tool since then. It could be something worth looking at I guess. |

That's the tool that I made to do my gear development. You can't upload the anims that it outputs currently but you could edit it to make it output to a custom format run by a script. |
