osgAnimation osgAnimation is the a new effort to put generic animation is OpenSceneGraph. It is currently in 'beta' and in developpement phase but can do a various things yet. The way osgAnimation is made is to let the user the flexibility to change the behaviour of predefined class.

The developpment branch are located: hg clone http://hg.plopbyte.net/osg-branch/ or svn co http://www.openscenegraph.org/svn/osg/OpenSceneGraph/branches/OpenSceneGraph-osgWidget-dev/

short description of class:

• Sampler is the 'low level' type (use to interpolate between keyframe with an function that define how to interpolate between them)
• Channel is the association of a Sampler and a Target (it's the result of the sampler poll)
• Animation is a container of Channels . Often you will have position,rotation and scale, but you can have what you want like color, animation of a stateAttribute. You can add what you want.
• Bone is a new transform type to manage skeleton animation
• Skeleton is the root of a tree that contains Bone

Features supported:

• skeleton animation with rigged mesh [software implementation]
• solid animation
• it can link an animation channel of any type to another object, or state attribute. (eg: linking the x animation of an object to the alpha of a color.)
• blender exporter http://hg.plopbyte.net/osgexport/
• timeline scheduler

Feature to implemented yet:

• hardware skinning
