Hi all!<br>My project is improving COLLADA Animation support<br><br><b>== What I did this week ==</b><br> <br>--
Continued work on armature import system improvements. Went through the existing code at the beginning of the week. Not much time was spent as with the Animation Importer.<br> Coded new functions which are independent of skin controller data. Basically the new functions follow the Skin dependent functions to a considerable extent. <br>
<br>-- Tested the new system on a cube parented to a single armature with a single bone. The Animations got imported correctly but had some bugs with animation assignments. This was fixed <br> by modifying Document Importer. Also tested with a simple armature with 4 bones. After fixing some issues with leaf bone creation, the animations got imported correctly. But there are <br>
still some transformation faults remaining. <br><br>-- Improved the wiki page documentation with the addition of diagram.<br>
<br><br>More detailed log is maintained here : <b><a href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phabtar/Full_COLLADA_Animation_Support_for_Blender/Diary_and_Notes" target="_blank">http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Phabtar/Full_COLLADA_Animation_Support_for_Blender/Diary_and_Notes</a></b><br>
<br>== <b>Plans for next week</b> == <br><br>-- Fix bugs of the armature animation import. Also fix issues with skinned armature animation. Focus on some bugs assigned to me which are related to the project.<br><br>== Issues ==<br>
Had some build issues after merging with the trunk. This was resolved by another merge but still blender seems to crash when running. So reverted to a working revision and updated<br>only the collada related files to the latest revision. This won't be much of an issue after updating to newer revisions. <br>
