This is more of a research question than anything else.
I'm trying to track down an animation format for articulated (not skinned) animations. Where whole meshes would be deformed by a bones transform. However, i'm unable to find any such format. The closest i cam was the ps1 TMD format but i couldn't find anything on how to parse it.
I'm looking for something that might have some documentation online, on how to parse it.
Looks like i was using some wrong terminology here. I'm actually looking for a "Hierarchical Object Animation" format.
Never Winter Nights 1 Fits this description.
I can't seem to find any info on parsing it's files tough, as all my searching for mdl files turns back half-life.
Anyone know any resources on loading nvn mdl files?
Yeah, skinned animation will still work perfectly fine; after all, what is a rigid animation but a mesh skinned to only one bone with unit weight ;)
Ha ha, thanks guys.
I'm actually working on a research project about different animation techniques in games, so i'm looking for something very specific.
Anywhom, i seem to have found two viable formats: 3DS and ASE.
Thanks to all!
