I don't know if you already thought of this or not, but here goes:

Make two transforms for every component of your blob object

    1) Transform_to_construct_the_skeleton_component{}
    2) Transform_to_animate_your_component{}

#1 doesn't have to be #declared independently for every component, you can
just replace this with appropriate rotations, etc.
#2  is only declared for each "bone", such as forearm, thigh, etc....

Then do:

blob{
...
sphere{0,1
    transform{ Transform_to_construct_the_skeleton_component }
    texture{Texture_of_Skin}
    transform{ Transform_to_animate_your_component}
    }

...}

etc.


This is how my blob mon is constructed, as in my last IRTC anim and
