Blending different animations

[JasonX]

Even though the way Q3 handles animation blending is elegant, it requires a much more complex art pipeline, forcing artists to think in separate body parts. I'm thinking about starting a simple test in QuakeSpasm and implement animation blending in multiplayer: running and shooting, for example, without sliding. More complex stuff would follow, but this is a good way to start and learn more about animations. Has anyone tried this before in Quake? Is it possible only with CSQC? Who handles the animations, the engine or QuakeC?

You know Quakespasm doesn't support MD3 right?

Quakespasm is stock Quake:
1) .mdl, .spr, .bsp
2) standard QuakeC
3) no view weapon support of any kind

I'm implementing IQM and skeletal animation support. Somewhat works... but now i want to experiment with blending, otherwise, IQM would be useless.
