WAIT!!!

I need to know this:

Filmbox, what is it, what does it support??

How does it work?

I've waded through the site, and it seems to support everything... which... is a bit difficult to understand, especially if bones act differently across platforms.

I'm just guessing, but I think the idea is that when you export your animation as .fbx the program translates its bone info. to .fbx bone format, which can then be read by other programs that understand this format and can translate it into their own bone format. Makes sense anyway.

Well, for one thing, I think that would enable you to utilize Motionbuilder. Motionbuilder is an advanced character animation tool similar to Character Studio or Messiah: Animate. It is also pretty expensive (probably around $3500). Here is there web page if you're interested: http://www.kaydara.com/index.php.
