Skeletal or 'Precomputed'
Author
Hi i would like to get some feedback on that , what eould you like
to see most in a modern engine , a ''precompiled'' animation
( fast but very rigid in capabilities ) or skeletal ( computational intensive , but far more flexible ) ?
i''m coding both am i doing wrong or what ?
Skeletal all the way. Its a lot harder to code (at first), but its a helluva lot more flexible, and easier (you don''t have to work on a bunch of animations for each models, just ''bone'' it, and work on the animations via code or text).

No doubt that "Skeletal" animation is more flexible, easier and , let me say, less boring, but what about quality?
I suppose that a "precomputed " animation , based on keyframe animated files should be more realistic.
Thanks in advance for your reply

I''d advise using a skeletal system, and compile the most common movements as and when they occur in the game.

It wont hurt to have both...
This way you can use skelatal for a character that needs complex animations and KeyFrame for less complex caharcters. Plus the fact that you will need keyframing for other types of objects like cars etc...
