class Animator

The Animator class is the base class for all model animation classes.

Definition

class Animator : public UpdatableTree<Animator>, public Packable, public Constructable<Animator>

Member Functions

`Animator::GetAnimatorType`	Returns the animator type.
`Animator::GetTargetModel`	Returns the model to which an animator applies.
`Animator::GetTargetNode`	Returns the root of the subtree with the model that is affected by an animator.
`Animator::SetTargetNode`	Sets the root of the subtree with the model that is affected by an animator.
`Animator::GetWeightInterpolator`	Returns the interpolator used to modify an animator's weight.
`Animator::Preprocess`	Called to allow an animator to perform any necessary preprocessing.
`Animator::Configure`	Called when an animator is affected by a change in the animation tree for a model.
`Animator::Move`	Called each frame to allow the animator to calculate its output.

Constructor

Animator(AnimatorType type, Model *model, Node *node = nullptr);

Parameters

`type`	The animator type.
`model`	The model to which the animator applies.
`node`	The root of the subtree within the model that is affected by the animator. If this is `nullptr`, then the root is the same as the `model` parameter.

Description

Base Classes

`UpdatableTree<Animator>`	Used internally by the World Manager.
`Packable`	Animators can be packed for storage in resources.
`Constructable<Animator>`	New animator subclasses may be defined by an application, and a constructor function can be installed using the `Constructable` class.
