How do I do I make a 3D model that has the 2D look and is as fluid as what you see in Robotech Battlecry? What programs are the most compatable for making them and what format should they be saved as? How do I link if then statments to perform the functions of those animations and loop some animations if nessisary?

It''s from using a rendering technique called "cell shading".
I''m not sure, but I think you need a plug-in for programs like Max, Maya, and Lightwave to do this.
do a search on cell shading and see what you comes up.
