ad::BlendBase Class Reference Pure virtual base class for blend hierarchies. More... #include <animation.h> Inherited by ad::AnimPlayer, and ad::Blend. Inheritance diagram for ad::BlendBase: [legend]List of all members. Public Member Functions virtual void  Calculate (Pose *out_pose, HiBoneMask *optionalMask=0)=0 Detailed Description Pure virtual base class for blend hierarchies. You can inherit from this base class and define the Calculate function to generate a Pose at runtime for your derived class. Then you can use ad::Blend to create create a blend between your class and any other class that inherits from this base class. Some example usages could be: Calculate the pose from rag-doll physics. Create a custom blend function that works like ad::Blend but uses 3 or more source poses and perhaps even does cubic interpolation. Create some AI that controls bone rotations directly to generate a pose. There are many possibilities, and perhaps future versions of animadead will come with more default uses. This would be an excellent way to implement IK. See also: ad::Blend, ad::AnimPlayer, ad::HiBoneMask Member Function Documentation virtual void ad::BlendBase::Calculate (  Pose *  out_pose, HiBoneMask *  optionalMask = 0 )  [pure virtual]   If no optionalMask is used, this function should calculate the pose for all bones. If a mask is used, only the bones in the selection should be affected in the out_pose. Parameters: out_pose  This parameter should be allocated before calling this calculate function, and the result is stored in this Pose. Implemented in ad::AnimPlayer, and ad::Blend.
