I recently finished up a really cool skeletal animation tech demo for Darkwind.  I was able to get the model of Arthas (aka the Lich King) from World of Warcraft and do my own little animation on it.  I brought the animated model into Luster and added some nice lighting and shadow effects. These effects include per-pixel lighting, normal maps, shadows maps and variance shadow maps (VSMs). There is a video of the Skeletal Animation Tech Demo below, and more screenshots available in the Luster Gallery.

I also did a longer write-up of the whole process on the Darkwind Media blog.
