Hey Ben, How are you my friend?, Anyway Meta has not the ability to do animations, how ever, Blender, can animate ALMOST as good as any pricy software out there:) All you gotta do is import you Meta made stuff as objects in to blender, and then use the "GAME" mode, that is your animation mod, for blender, VERY confusing at first, but go to www.blender.org, for wonderful tutorials and plenty 'o You-Tube links.... I have made several short animations using it, the only problem is RE setting up your textures....... An easy trick for this is to put all the models you want to animate in a seperate folder.....and be sure that you put the textures used in this folder as well and blender should locate them and should look as they did in Meta...The timeline works very simular to max so if you have ever played with 3dmax or any simular software then figuring out how to set it should be easy..if not you tube my friend, the next college of the world "you-tube"......Hope this helps...... Remember .....www.blender.org........ good luck and take care:)
