Animation format

[daspex]

Hi,

did somebody extract animations from SRIV?If yes,which format do they have motion capture or what ever?

What you mean by this

do they have motion capture or what ever

? The game has keyframe animation and a regular state machine with blending I guess. Motion capture is the only a tool for creating animation. In-game animation format might be based on keyframes or on some procedural algorithms like in gta 4 or overgrowth. Volition member explains animation format here but I am not programmer so IDK what to do with it.

I thaught that the game has packed animation files or something.

Every game has a unique format for packing keyframes, there is a big problem to import-export them. That why not so many animation tools for modding exist. Anyway, would be cool to have it for SR games.
