I mean the second one. My modeler does not do mtl files correctly. It does the uvs though.

Okay, shouldn't be too difficult to implement.

Will the animation builder recognize that all the models use the same texture, or will there be one copy per model in the animation sequence?

All you need to do is have one model (for each LOD), the "base model", with the texture. For the frames, all it needs are the vertex positions. That's basically what's stored in the animation file (plus the base models). I haven't released the version that tweens the normals. The current version only tweens the vertices, but normals would need to be tweened as well for the lighting to be correct. I'll try to get a stable release soon.

You would apply the texture to just one model (for the base model), then, you would batch convert all the other frames without the textures. Set the base model to the textured model, and add the frames (the models without the texture).
