Introduction

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
