Hey

I have recently been building a very very simple game engine for myself and i have run into alot of trouble trying to implement animation

What i have been doing so far is converting from collada into my own file format and have been able to load static meshes.

But i cant seem to understand how to load skeleton animations

I have read the following tutorials but cant seem to think of how to implement it my way

• http://www.wazim.com/Collada_Tutorial_1.htm
• http://thecansin.com/Files/COLLADA.pdf
• http://www.braynzarsoft.net/index.php?p=D3D11MD51 (Not collada but i wanted to see if they were similar enough to use that tutorial)

if anyone know how to explain it i would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

I am just a bit confused on what information is exactly needed

Would i be right to say that this is all i need besides the geometry :

• Bone Name
• Bone Parent
• Joint Matrix
• Bind shape matrix
• Bind Pose
• Joint inverse Bind poses
• Root Bone
• Bone Weights
• Animation Time
• Transformation :
• Interpolation Type
• Skinning Equation

Thank you :)
