If I wanted to play an animation for exactly 1 second I couldn't. I was using key frames and, for collision reasons, I forced the animation to stop at certain points causing it to play longer than it should. It can be a bit of a nightmare when you want things synchronized but somehow it all worked out. Conceptually yeah, I guess I did sort of make bones, but this time I will be able to bend the quadrants! The first change anyone will notice will probably be the spine.

So it may even be possible to have a slightly new animation pose on each displayed point in time. In the game when you carried a small rock it was in Felix's animated paw, so on a conceptual level you probably programmed bones (though I realize it may be in the character studio). Cool with some custom approaches. I think I understand, timing can be easier e.g. with some kind of “key” frames, when it’s possible to more freely interpolate between a pair of such frames.

I tried to mimic bones without actually using them. Previously animations where simply a collection of rotations stored in frames. That probably wont change that much but I will make sure I get more control over the speed and timing of the animation.

About the bones, does that mean the previous animations are all vertex data, possibly stored per fixed steps in time?
