Ok to be clear, Loic, Igor and me (Cedric Pinson) worked on cal3d and osgcal(GPL) for pok3d. We don't want anymore use cal3d for futur project so animtk is a try to open the ways. But it's a long way to have something stable, functionnal, easy to use. So right now animtk can't replace cal3d/osgcal and for a long time i think. The idea on animtk is to make something general usable with osg or without:
building low level block like sampler, interpolator, (used to varying a data over time) so it can be used to varying a vec4, a float, a quaternion, ... without interpreting the result. like getValue(t). Here there is no loop mode , ping pong ... just a clamp if outside of range From these block we can make more complex structure like Animation, eg Assembling a Sampler for a quaternion and a Sampler for a Vec3, then you can play the animation with a manager that can blend them if more than two at the same time and can set play mode like loop. Skeleton feature has just started, the idea is to have just a hierarchy of transform that contain result of sampler inside. The animation system does know what a skeleton or skinning is. eg: ManagerAnimation.update(); // update animation Skeleton.update(); // update the skeleton I did not start the skinning part yet. But i want things separated to let the user control or override each part. That's a project so today it can be use for a low level use (Sampler) i already used it in project. But it's a very young project and so much thing to do, i am alone on it and not at full time so :) If people wants to help :) Jeremy Moles wrote: > With all the recent discussion over Cal3D I decided to take a few > minutes and look over some of the affiliated stuff at Gna.org and I > found a project called AnimTK.
