Hello,
We are running some tests to determine if we can make our next project in 3D on Defold. So far it’s going really well!
We are having a small issue with the animations:
To be able to have customisable characters made out of different meshes (hat, hands, body, etc.), which share the same skeleton and animations, we have those things in separate collada files.
It seems that, if there’s a difference between the pose in the Skeleton collada, and the pose on the first frame of the animation collada, the values set on the animation are added on top to the Skeleton’s initial pose values causing an offset in the final values.
For example, if the skeleton has a bone at X=0, and on the animation that bone starts at X=-1, then moves to X=1, what we’re getting in Defold is an animation where the bone starts at X=0 (skeleton position) and moves to X=2 (position from animation).
I would expect that the Skeleton would assume the pose set on frame 1 of the animation.
In this case, in the example above the bone would be moved to X=-1 on the first frame.
In order to fix this, we’re making the first frame of each animation exactly identical to the skeleton’s pose, and then offsetting the cursor to skip it.
It works, but I wonder if there’s something we’re missing or a more elegant way of dealing with this.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks
