They weren't really meant to. The internal version (which this must be. whoops webmaster!) would have been used to make DLC and expansion packages if SOM prospered. I think MDL and SFX was a bad combination. They are inflexible. To this day you can't really make a vertex-based animation with any kind of modeling software. So my guess is, that From Software must have had a good vertex-based animation tool (PlayStation games chiefly used this kind of animation) that could not be shared, but was also saddled with the PlayStation's hardware limits.
I'd like to make the vertex-based animation the only kind SOM uses, but the only way to take full advantage of their flexibility is to first make an all new modeling tool able to create those animations.
