Animation data ​

The following sections describe how animation data is represented in Simplygon. Animation data can be used in bone setting to bake a pose from an animation sequence using the first frame of the animation.

AnimationTable ​

The AnimationTable is a collection of animations. Each animation is identified by its name or index. The AnimationTable can be used to find an animation by its name or index

Animation ​

Animations are created using the Simplygon API. These are fully baked animations. They are identified by their name or index and the names are set with SetName. They have a frame rate and a number of frames. Frame rate is mainly for future use. The animation contains a number of tracks, each track is associated with a node in the scene. Each track contains a number of keyframes. Each keyframe contains a frame number and a transformation matrix.

  • CreateTrackForNode
    Creates a track for a specific node in the scene.
  • FindFrameForNode
    Finds the keyframe for a specific node in the scene given a frame number.

AnimationTrack ​

An animation track is associated with a specific node in the scene. The track contains a number of keyframes. Each keyframe contains a frame number and a transformation matrix.

  • CreateTransformKeyFrame
    Creates a keyframe for a specific track in the animation.

AnimationTrackKeyFrame ​

The base class for keyframes. Contains a frame number.

AnimationTrackTransformKeyFrame ​

A specialized keyframe that contains a frame number and a transformation matrix. This is a non-interpolated keyframe and meant to store absolute transformations for a node at a specific frame in the animation.
