I don't know if this was already suggested by why don't you try using bones

kind of tedious, but you could put dummies( in a linked hierarchy) at the
vertices, linkedXform the verts to them, then *rotate* the dummies. I did
some character animation with lofts for arms, legs & torso that way a while
back...
