Description: A mention of an article about Skeletal Bone Animation & Skinning with Collada models, in the XNA game development framework.

 <p>Benjamin Nitschke posted a fantastic XNA tutorial about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_animation">skeletal bone animation</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinning">skinning</a> using <a href="http://www.khronos.org/collada/">Collada</a> models, which allow  for complex animations exported as XML that DirectX .X files can't handle.</p>

<p>I'll leave you with the video showcasing what the demo does:</p>

<p>BTW, <a href="http://www.jadengine.com">Jad Engine 1.1</a> (which is going to be released in few days) it's going to not only support Collada files, but use them as primary models. <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/JADENGINE/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Under%20Development&amp;referringTitle=Home">Here</a> you can see other new features it has.</p>
