I'm still having a hard time understanding the animation system in
this engine. When I get the 'default' skinAnim in the line that
everyone seems to use:
skinAnim = target.animationLibrary.getAnimation("default").animation
as SkinAnimation
I'm sort of confused about the animationLibrary as well. I'm testing
with the cat demo found here:
http://sleepydesign.blogspot.com/2008/07/away3d-collada-animation.html
and in the dae file for the cat, there are many animations
specifically named. None of the specific animations (strings) ever get
added to the animationLibrary though! I only see that "default" gets
added to the library and that's it. Am I missing something here? Is it
my job to specify start and end times and always play "default" for
everything? Thanks for any help!
