This application takes the
of two
animations and blends them to provide a seamless transition between them.
- Using the extracted hierarchical, skeletal, and skinning data from the FBX files, interpolates and reconstructs each frame of the animation.
- Hierarchy data allows each joint to be stored in a tree structure with the joint names. This enables support for unique properties on specific joints e.g. the hands or head.
- This is displayed in the image above, where the character model can hold another model using its hand joint
-
Animation blending occurs whenever the user enters or exits a state e.g. running to jumping or jumping to running.
- Interpolates using frames from the animation currently playing and the first few of the next animation, smoothing the transition no matter the current frame
- Frames at the start and end of an animation will be looped around to account for the start and end of each frame buffer
