Introduction

XNAnimation is a skeletal animation library for XNA. This library allows developers to easly manipulate, playback, interpolate and blend animations.
Currently, the library is being ported to XNA 4.0.

Main Features

• General
  • Easy to use.
    • Provides classes to handle skinned models, skeletons, animations clips, keyframes and poses.
    • Provides controllers to handle animation playback.
  • High performance.
    • Animation interpolation and blending made on the CPU.
    • Model skinning made on the GPU.
  • Low memory footprint.
    • Stores keyframe translation, orientation, and scale decomposed.
    • Shares skeletons, animations and meshes resources.
  • Supports Windows and Xbox platforms.
• Animation playback
  • Plays animations forward and backward.
  • Constrols animation speed and looping.
  • Supports models with up to 80 bones
  • Supports linear, cubic and spherical keyframe interpolation.
    • Stores keyframe translation, orientation, and scale decomposed
    • Interpolates translation, orientation and scale separately for best interpolation.
• Animation blending
  • Supports cross fade between animation clips.
    • Allows smooth transitions between animations.
• Material system
  • Supports multiple point light sources (up to eight) with light attenuation.
  • Supports materials with emissive, diffuse and specular properties.
  • Supports Diffuse, Normal and Specular textures.
  • Reports vertex and pixel shader profiles used
• XNAnimation Model Processor
  • Splits any animation into a new set of animations (based on time or keyframe)
  • Transforms the entire scene using rotation or scale
