fbx-animation-controls

The easiest way to control FBX animations (almost 😇).

Time management, animation control, attaching different meshes, switching to next animation tracks (in development) and so on.

npm install fbx-animation-controls --save

Example of usage

import {FBXAnimationControls} from 'fbx-animation-controls';

const controls = new FBXAnimationControls(document.getElementById('viewer'));

// in updateScene hook:
controls.update();

// in application logic:
controls.attach(mesh, {play: true, atTime: 0.123});

• isPlaying: boolean
• isPaused: boolean
• isStopped: boolean

• attach(mesh: Mesh, attachOptions: IAttachDetachOptions): void
• detach(): void
• play(): void
• pause(): void

• getCurrentAnimationTimeDisplayString(): string

Event System

Plugin may provide some information on deman, by subcsription on available events.

Just call controls.on(eventName) and one of the following events (for now there is 7 events):

• PLAY
• PAUSE
• STOP
• MESH_ATTACHED
• MESH_DETACHED

• CHANGE_TIME

Styling

So, for now you have two options for styling animation controls:

• add to your main html file following (of course with correcting path):

      <link rel="stylesheet" href="./node_modules/fbx-animation-controls/src/themes/default.css" />
  

• or add your own styles for the following selectors:

  general:

  • .animationSlider
  • .playButton
  • .currentAnimationTime

  for a track:

  • .animationSlider::-webkit-slider-runnable-track
  • .animationSlider::-moz-range-track
  • .animationSlider::-ms-track

  for a thumb:

  • .animationSlider::-webkit-slider-thumb
  • .animationSlider::-moz-range-thumb
  • .animationSlider::-ms-thumb
