[Korea-chapter] [h-anim] composable behaviors, animations, sequencers

[Joe D Williams]

Hi norm,
Fine stuff. What we need to know is any shortcomings in the hanim 
model that make you want to change something from the standard. It 
looks like you are using what we are now calling a Level 1 model, with 
geometry attached to Segment, not a continious mesh skin Level 2. Just 
convenience or a shortcoming in the Level 2 deformable skin model?
Needless to say, Don and I and the WG are now just refining and 
checking definitions and hierarchy and need some inputs on 
requirements for higher level access like you are showing. Would be 
great if someone from your group would join us with some user code.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Joe
