Animations can move parts of a mesh or a complete mesh, the two different animations used in Oblivion uses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_animation skeletal] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morph_target_animation morph target] animations. The latter is mainly used in heads of creatures and can't be created with the tools currently available. Skeletal animations use bones, instead of animating individual [[vertices]], the vertices are assigned to one or more bones and then the bones are animated.

Animations are either combined with the mesh in a [[Glossary#N|Nif]] file or in a separate [[Glossary#K|kf file]] for actors.
