   Animation Question (very noobish)
  Ack! I warned you in the title!I'm in my third year of a programming course at uni. Last year i did a rudimentary games programming module where we used .X files to manifest animation in games.For my project this year i am planning on doing a front end (a visualisation component?) for a beat-em-up, and am thinking that the advanced animations required may be a little much for .X files to handle (or perhaps i just don't know enough about them!). Can anyone direct me to any sources of information regarding sophisticated animation techniques in directX? I've been advised to search for FK in directX, but that didn't yield any results i could make much sense of, and it sounded a little too much like programming animations when i could just produce them in max and import them :Sthanks for your patience, and any help you can lend :)
