Advanced Models SDK v110

This document provides information for Unreal Tournament modellers making a plugin player model with Advanced Model Support v102 or later, and for modellers and programmers working on larger mods who wish to use skeletal models and/or Advanced Model Support code.

Parts of it may also be relevant to developers working on other Unreal-engined games, if they include the skeletal model system originally developed for Unreal Tournament for the Playstation 2.
