Title: Efficient Animations
|
I'm going with the bone hierarchy route.
Morph was very attractive, but too memory intensive. Think of a q2 model
with 200 or so keyframes. That's 200 instances of the model
geometry loaded into memory for only one "thing" If every animated
model looked the same, then it might be a good route. But that's not a
realistic situation.

Subject: [JAVA3D] Efficient
Animations
The Java3D API gives us many ways to do animation, but for
someone who doesn't want to write code for each one before finding out the
pro's and cons of each approach I'd like to get some information on the best
way to approach the subject. I've looked into morphing, I've looked at switch
nodes (to go that OpenInventor route), and I've looked at putting together a
bones hierarchy - but I know that there has to be some pretty general rules
for the most efficient method for Java3D.
Thanks :)
