DAE ground animation - not working? - LOGGED

#1 Alright, I "fixed" it. There are two problems. First, TSShapeLoader::generateGroundAnimation() never grabs any animation from the bounds node. This is "fixed" by doing this:

Replace this line:

if (!boundsNode || !boundsNode->animatesTransform(appSeq)) {

By this:

if (!boundsNode) {

AnimatesTransform() is hardcoded to *always* return false, so the code after the if block never executed. After removing it the code goes through the animation, but always get the same values for every frame. To fix this, move this line from after the first if block to the very end of the function:

const_cast<AppSequence*>(appSeq)->setActive(false);

Now the ground transform information will be read and can be used to scale the animations. However, the characters still displace when walking, even if the grounds is properly following them. There's no code whatsoever to make the animations relative to the bounds, so we need to add it.

Go to TSShapeLoader::getLocalNodeMatrix(), and after this block:

// multiply by inverse scale at t=0
MatrixF m10 = node->getNodeTransform(DefaultTime);
m1.scale(Point3F(1.0f/m10.getScale().x, 1.0f/m10.getScale().y, 1.0f/m10.getScale().z));

...Add this:

if (boundsNode && node != boundsNode && node->mParentIndex == -1)
{
   MatrixF mb = boundsNode->getNodeTransform(t);            
   zapScale(mb);      
   m1 = mb.inverse() * m1;
}

This will make every root node transform relative to the bounds node at every frame.
