Character Animation Libraries

If you’re in search of character application then  there are very few libraries you can find on the internet. I found 2 character animation libraries on the internet cal3d and EmotionFX. Let’s discuss about these two libraries here.

EmotionFX
This library is cross platform and works most of the operating systems. It also supports multicore, multi threaded consoles and pcs and single threaded environements.

It is real time character animation designed to be plugged into 3D engine, game or any other product.

Cal3D

Cal3D is cross platform and skeletal based 3d character animation library. It is written in C++, and it is portable to multiple operating systems.

It supports combining animations and actions through a “mixer” interface, and work is currently underway to integrate morph targets (interpolating between one mesh and another, using the same vertex sequence) easily into the system.

For more information and download you can try official website of Cal3D here.
