I see - so it would essentially live in a separate world from the  
normal fluxus objects.

The only problem I can see with that, is if it is all rendered into a  
pixel primitive, there's no way to do any collision detection across  
each object in the animata scene.  What I'd really like, I think, is  
to have each object as a separate, textured fluxus primitive, so I  
could move them about separately.

You think it's more work? Hmm.... I suppose you mean because it's  
originally all in C++? Do you have an example of a standalone Animata  
parser/player in C++ without the GUI bits? There's a lot of code to go  
through, although it's pretty straightforward, I could see adapting it  
to something like OF or Cinder.
