Skeletal Animations: Examples?

andreasky · Post by **andreasky** » Thu Jun 11, 2009 2:02 pm

Hi,

I would like to control an animated skeletal model. I would import a ".X" file into Irrlicht.

Are there any examples/code snippets on how to control skeletal animations?

Thanks in advance.

Andrea

At least the dwarf is a skeletal model to my knowledge. Not sure about the other models. But you can see the dwarf in examples 07 and 09.

I wrote this a while ago, it might be worth a read if you haven't figured it out yet

Many thanks, I looked at your example. It is very helpful for me.

A question:

Why do we need to get the absolute Inverse Transformation Matrix of the parent?

==========================================

// Get the absolute INVERSE Transformation matrix of the parent

matrix4 iparentTransform = parentJoint->getAbsoluteTransformation();
iparentTransform.makeInverse();

==========================================

Thank you!
