In this chapter, we'll cover the following topics:
- Previewing animations in SDK
- Creating an animation manager control
- Extending the animation control
- Handling jump animations
- Creating a custom animation – leaning
- Creating a subanimation
- Lip syncing and facial expressions
- Eye movement
- Location-dependent animation – edge check
- Inverse kinematics – aligning feet with ground
In this chapter, we'll take a closer look at skeleton-based animations. These are central features in many games, and having a good framework can save a lot of time (and money) in a project.
For those who are completely new to the subject of animations, it's recommended that you have a look at the jMonkeyEngine tutorials and Hello Animation in particular at http://hub.jmonkeyengine.org/wiki/doku.php/jme3:beginner:hello_animation.
