Thank you for getting back to me on this. We have started looking into our own solution to this. It could be an extremely useful feature if we could get this process working predictably. That said, we are a Canadian animation company currently working on a theatrical animated feature using Blender as the primary 3d tool. We have resources in the form of experienced programmers and financing available to help with some of these issues. Who could we contact to offer some assistance and help with the development of Blender. We are very interested in lending a hand here.
