Would it be possible for you to add 'Set' functions or maybe animation channels/blending (I imagine it would be no small task)?

This looks very interesting so what type of projects is this best suited for? and does this mean rag dolls can now be done with it?

 

[Raven]

Sorry for no answer, I had problems with my PC.

I think ragdolls are doable, but it's hell of a problem. Right now this thing can only attach actors to bones of non-animated skeletal meshes. The problem is that ReferenceSkeleton doesn't hold information of bone current position. I have to figure out, how anim sequences are stored.
