Animation Tool

Animation Tool

Animation tool give you the ability to be able to import .bin animation, edit it and then export it to as bin file. There are many settings and option to go through, which will be covered on this page.

Main Panel

Path

This is the path directing to the XML file, which is separated into two types:

• Dependencies XML - skeleton of the model (Ex. skeleton.xml or 0.xml)
• Model XML - the model itselves, such as hunter.xml, barrier_3.xml, and weapon_baton.xml

Dependencies

Dependencies XML is an XML containing node that the Model XML will be referencing from. For example; body.xml contains the capsule that is referencing the nodes/edges/figures from the Dependencies XML.

Model XML (OPTIONAL)

Model XML is a model XML. If the model is animated along with the Dependencies XML (Ex. composite weapon or bike), you can direct the path to that specific XML if you wish to import bike animation or composite weapon animation.

Animations Options

This is the main operator for importing/exporting animation into the rig.

• Import Animation - Select .bin animation file to import
