Skeletal Animation


Info Skeleton


plugimg

The Info Skeleton plugin is used to display information about skeletons in the scene.

It provides statistics such as joint counts, attached animations and the current bounding box of the skeleton.





Skeletal Animation


plugimg

This plugin provides basic controls to animate skeletons in OpenFlipper. It can be used to switch and control the playback of animations.

Furthermore it allows to control skinning algorithms (Not available in the free version yet) to attach meshes to skeletons.





Skeleton Editing


plugimg

The Skeleton Editing plugin can be used to modify or create skeletons in OpenFlipper. It can add and remove joints from skeletons.

It is also used to move joints in 3D. The modifications can be either applied to:

  • one single joint (in the current frame or in a whole animation)
  • to the joint itself or the whole subtree of the joint

Furthermore a simple inverse kinematic implementation is provided to move the joints and modify their children and parents accordingly.
