As of right now we only have animations and looping, but no blending, morphing, or other types of animation.

It would be nice (for eg. Head movement) to have more advanced animation as seem in http://www.irrlicht3d.org/wiki/index.ph ... tionSystem

Animation blending is not used in Minetest because of an Irrlicht bug.

I have, and it looks very hackish/ugly (its cool, but not very pretty IMO)

Ah, ok.

It's choppy because it's done in a mod, and the movement still needs refining.

however, if we can port this code to core (and that should entirely be possible without issues) then it would be smooth and natural, and pretty much not require any resources.

If the player model gets moved to core at all it'll be a lot smoother, and having head movement would be even better!

I +1 to that!
