John W. Ratcliff has released a demonstration application and binary plugins for his MeshImport library. The MeshImport library is an open source project which allows developers to easily import and export full skeletal, animated and deformed, meshes using a simple API in a wide variety of graphics file formats.
While there are other projects which offer similar capabilities, the MeshImport library stands out for its simplicity and ease of use.
This release showcases the EZMesh file format which is a human readable XML format which can efficiently describe a skeletal deformed mesh. EZmesh is literally self-documenting and can describe a mesh, material, skeleton, and animation in as little as 34 lines of XML.
You can download the demonstration application at 'The Code Suppository' website located here:
