Skinning and Morphing

November 5th, 2007

ASCollada now supports skinning and morphing! The mushroom you see below contains a skeleton (a bone-hierarchy) which bends the stem. The mesh is further transformed by 5 morph targets.

Skin and Morph

See example.

NOTE: This example was compiled with Papervision3D 2.0 RC0. This upcoming Papervision3D version is only available for PV3D’s core developers. So you have to be patient for a few weeks.
