Faking bones animation

Is it possible to fake bones animation the way Quake 3 did with using 3 different models, one for the head, upper, and lower areas of the model. is it?

forgot to mention that the 3 models were all vertex animation(except for the head with only 1 frame.) in case you dont know.

well the questionisnt IF its possible, the question is HOW, it can be as simple as joining the 3 models together via code such as vec_for_vertex and such or it can get as complex as joining them together via code and stitching the vertices to make it seemless...

Another question is, what do you need that for, while even the free version supports bones animation.

I need it because lite-c does not have the ability to have more than 1 weight on a vertex, which will make animation not be as realistic.

It would also make it easier to have a lower body and upper body animation than doing anim_add...

it does support more than 1 weight on a vertex, atleast now it does
