I'm looking into methods of doing model animation in my simulation.
For example, I want to show a model of a guy running, jumping, and
falling over. This model will be controlled by the user so it will
not be moving constantly. It would take a lot of time to draw each frame that is
need so my model guy is building one model with degree of freedom
nodes in ModelGen. This would allow us to control the model's
movement by adjusting values in the node.
I was wondering if anyone else has done something like this. I want
to do it correct the first time so it can be reused later. I need to
know what kind of performance issues I might have if I start doing
computations on 100-200 models each update. Also, I need to know how
much of a task this could be to program. If anyone has a better
method or has heard of anyone doing this, please let me know.
Thanks,
Steven
