AnimGR

AnimGR is a software framework designed for the creation and manipulation of animation data. It provides a set of tools and libraries that allow developers to import, edit, and export animation sequences for use in various applications, particularly in game development and real-time rendering. The framework supports a range of common animation file formats, enabling seamless integration with existing asset pipelines.

The core functionality of AnimGR revolves around its ability to parse and interpret skeletal animation data, which typically involves a hierarchy of bones and associated transformations over time. Users can load these animations, preview them, and make modifications such as retargeting, blending, or applying procedural adjustments. The framework aims to offer a flexible and efficient way to handle complex animation workflows, reducing the need for manual adjustments in external Digital Content Creation (DCC) tools for every minor change.

AnimGR is often utilized in engines or middleware where direct manipulation of animation assets is required at runtime or during the build process. Its modular design allows for extensibility, with potential integrations for physics simulation, inverse kinematics (IK), and other advanced animation techniques. The objective is to streamline the animation pipeline, making it more adaptable to the iterative nature of game and interactive media development.
