Character Animation System

CAS is a character animation library. The library is designed to be independent from render or physics engines and easy to integrate in your own project(s).

Features

General

• Intended and optimized for use in 3D real-time applications

Animation

• Arbitrary bones per skeleton
• Multiple skins per character
• Multiple animations per character
• Arbitrary key frames per animation
• Animation controls
  • Speed
  • Direction
  • Weight
  • Key frame range
  • Looping:
    • Continuous
    • Bounce
• Animation interpolation
• Animation mixing
• Animation blending
• Animation layering
• Animation synchronization
• Animation mirroring
• Animation fading
  • Fade in
  • Fade out
  • Cross fade between 2 animations
• Procedural animation support
