Hmm, maybe I'm a little bit dump, but I'd suggest to give the users this "Compile-Execute-Convert-Previev" hint at least? You can just hit preview without performing individual steps as compile, execute, and convert. In fact there's no need to care about which step you should take first i...

No, just individual curves for x/y/z components.

Once I've understood what "slot" means I might continue. Got it. Each slot stores only a component of the translation/rotation/scaling curves: anim group 6 (Idle), frame cnt 80 bone 10 slot 0, slot id 5, keyCnt 1, max key time 0 0.000000: -0.002970 0.000000 0.000000 slot 1, slot id 6, key...

We've a set of animations, "Move", Run and so on. Are these "animgroups"? Yes, that's correct. Maybe I forgot to change some naming of the elements in that template. But if you've observed the file using the template, you'd see there're 31 elements contained in each so-called an...

btw, which "level" do you mean? I was talking about reversing the nested structure. One level at a time using the chunk size to break the entire binary blob into senseful structures. The number of items in each anim group matches with the bone count so I assume they match to each bone acc...

Ha, out of sight and out of mind.

I appreciate your good intention but what difference will it make? Feel free to do whatever you like here.

btw, "slots" are the same as like Unreal Engine's "Animation slots"? Nope, I just use that word habitually. My guess is that for each bone in each anim group, they store 8 animation curves of difference actions. Coz the end time of each action match with the track length. Hence ...

Nobody ever taught you how to write a decent sentence? Learn to use punctuation and show some respect for God's sake.

this is NOT a request ... but if you find the time you might have a look at... ("unfinished animation processing") Sounds no difference to me. Still I'm the one that needs to do the labors... (: I see that you're doing a byte searching to get the addresses of the anim groups and key count...

No idea why you're complaining. The tutorial had been released already last year:

Updated v1.0.2:
- Added individual Radian switch checkbox for Euler and Axis Angle;
- Bug fix for matrix convertion.

Updated v1.3.1: - Added support for nested layout; - Added support for loop control; - Added new Eval type "assert" for assertion; - Added new variables "boneHash" and "parentHash" for hierarchy mapping; - Added new types "Seek" and "Tell" for local ...

So it's likely that the initial frame need to be multiplied by the following keys. Not sure whether each following frame stores relatively to its previous one, just wild guesses. Got it. It's the world space bind pose that was multiplied by each anim keys: skeleton layout: long parentIndex long bon...

I also have a problematic (for me) animation, I tried to get it with your tool, but nothing worked The key data should be represented as a "Rotation[9]" followed by a "Translation[3]" instead of a "TransformMatrix[12]", which is for row-major storage only. Anyway, the ...
