[Bf-funboard] animation features

[Tom Musgrove]

I was looking at the demo files for endorphin

http://www.naturalmotion.com/pages/demos.htm

There were a few technologies that seemed fairly valuable for animation 
(asside from endorphins primary job which is ai created behavior).

1) Strobe preview - shows your interpolated ipo behavior to a specified 
future time at a specified interval, see the below image.

2) run cached versions of an animation (ie saved versions of a previous run) 
concurrently - this allows you to visual compare different runs of an 
animation, and offers a guide for your current tweaking of an animation.

Could be really useful to combine with strobing (have the option to set 
different strobe colors for different characters or objects...).
