AnimationClipContent

Remarks

The compiled form, not the authored one. An author writes curves with tangents; this holds the sampled channels those curves bake down to, and the bake happens once in the asset pipeline rather than every time a game loads a clip. The authored type lives in Vixen.Editor.Assets and a runtime never meets it — which is also what keeps the YAML parser out of this assembly, the same line Vixen.Rendering draws.

Why this exists rather than writing AnimationClipData directly. A clip is three things a player needs and AnimationClipData is one of them: the channels, the events authored beside them, and what happens at the end. Writing the channels alone would mean a game that loaded a clip by address still had to find its events somewhere else, which is the gap this row was opened to close.

⚠ No skeleton, and that is deliberate. Create resolves channels against joints by name, and a clip does not know which rig it will be played on — the same walk plays on every character that has the joints it names. So the artefact stays rig-independent and Bake is what pairs the two.

Fields and properties (8)

  What happens when it runs past the end.

• public AnimationClipData Data

  The sampled channels.

• public AnimationEvent[] Events

  What it raises, in time order.

• public Dictionary<string, string> Extensions

  Metadata this build did not interpret, by kind, as the YAML it was written in.

• public List<ConstraintTagRecord> Constraints

Methods (3)

• public AnimationClip Bake(Skeleton skeleton, string? rootJoint = null)

  Pairs the clip with a rig.

• public AnimationClip Bake(Skeleton skeleton, PriorityLadder? ladder, string? rootJoint = null, ICollection<string>? unresolved = null)

  Pairs the clip with a rig, resolving its constraints against a project's ladder.

• public bool TrySample(string target, float time, out BoneTransform transform)

  One named target's transform at a time, without a rig.
