I've had a basic animation system working in LeoCAD for a while, I
tried to do things as close to how 3DS works as I could since I didn't
have much experience with animations and I figured the guys at Discreet
know what they are doing (I'm not going get into a debate between Maya
and Max, I didn't have access to Maya at that time).
You can set keyframes and animate the camera and move objects and
then the program will interpolate the position/rotation between them. I
was going to start working on a good GUI but then I decided it was more
important to focus my time on features that more users would like to
see, it would take a lot of work to get a good system in and people that
want to make animations seriously would just rather export the file and
use it in 3DS or Maya.
