Hey Opera, you can animate other than with the camera with Modo. You have all the different type of morping tools that can be key framed in. Sure. it is not as easy as the full animation apps do, but it can be done.  Pin rigging works very well, so most machanical models can be animated. Pin rigging, ball jointing and morphs could work quite well for other figures. Just thought of all that will I was typing. Will have to go test my theory. BJD might be a good figure to test it with. 

I'm hoping that future versions of modo will have rigging and more animation functions.
