hi ol!

I was wondering how the characters in games like crashBandicoot or
tombraider are animated. (?) .. well, I think there are several
techs..

(1) single objects, which have to be rotated, transl.. etc
-> character looks quite ugly
(2) every animationStep is saved
-> needs a lot of mem
(3) meshMorphings
-> seems to me the best solution

are there others? .. which is normaly used?
