Retrieving meshes/entities from sceneloader?

Hi,

If I have a model with several meshes and want to animate each mesh individually, wouldn't it be logical to load the model as a scene and then access each mesh through the scene? I am currently using the dotsceneloader, but I can't seem to find a way to access each individual mesh.

Loading each mesh individually as an entity would be kind of bulky, right?

Anyone who has some experience with animating models containing several meshes?

EDIT:

I just found out I can use submeshes of the main mesh.. So I can load several meshes as submeshes of the Entity and access them that way, I believe that would be the best alternative to a scene.

EDIT 2:

Also found out that *.scene file is XML, so I could just parse the file and manually load the meshes and put them in a separate class, but I think I will go with the submesh solution.

EDIT 3:

Turns out if I get the subentities from the mainentity I can not get their position as their node would be their parent node. I ended up giving my "Unit" class an Entity while my "Map" class has a sceneloader. Might not be the best solution, but it works.
