Is there a way to use THREE.SkinnedMesh as THREE.Mesh? #164

Hey, Is there a way to use SkinnedMesh as it where a regular Mesh?

I'm developing an OS RTS engine, in my case - all my meshes are skinned (skeleton animation) but unfortunately - SkinnedMesh is not supported by Physijs. I don't mind that each of my models will have its own static Basic Shape - regardless of its current animation.

Please advise, Thanks!

A work-around I've used is to create an invisible dummy mesh with the desired physics shape and other properties and then add the animated mesh as a child to it.

The method @tapio gave is what I recommend unless you need the accuracy of bone collisions in which case you would need to create a Physijs object for each bone and set its position and rotation each frame.
