I sent a message to Skwasjer about the animations last night.
I know he did an update to S3D that he never released concerning SH5.
Not that I expect him to do anything to S3D but I figured he'd like to know things have progressed somewhat.
I've got a script started for 010 that rips the animations into a readable vertex7 format.
Another script I'm working on rips the base Biped and does all the math needed to plant the results in a dae file so it can be imported to different 3D programs.
