Class: SkinBinding

Defined in: libs/scene/src/animation/skeleton.ts:424

Skin binding for skinned animation.

Responsibilities:

• References a shared SkeletonRig.
• Maintains inverse bind and current skinning matrices for one skin.
• Provides a texture containing joint matrices for GPU skinning.
• Applies skinning state to associated meshes each frame.
• Computes animated axis-aligned bounding boxes using representative skinned vertices.

Joint matrix texture layout:

• Texture format: rgba32f.
• Stored as a 2-layered ring buffer: current and previous joint transforms to support temporal addressing if needed. Offsets are tracked in _jointOffsets[0] (current) and _jointOffsets[1] (previous).

Usage:

• Construct with a rig, bind data, meshes and submesh bounding info.
• Call apply() each frame to update joint texture, bind to meshes, and update bounds.
• Call reset() to clear skinning on meshes.

tryExtractHumanoidJoints()

static tryExtractHumanoidJoints<T>(root): HumanoidJointMapping<T>

Defined in: libs/scene/src/animation/skeleton.ts:1790

Attempt to extract humanoid joint mappings from the skeleton's joints based on their names.

This method looks for joints with names matching the standardized HumanoidBodyRig and HumanoidHandRig enums. If a complete mapping is found, it returns an object containing the mapped joints for the body and hands. If any required joint is missing, it returns null.

This method tries to find the best match for humanoid rigs, designed to work with Mixamo, VRoid, Unity Humanoid, Biped, and similar skeletons. It is not guaranteed to work with all models, and may require manual adjustments or custom modifiers for non-standard rigs.

Type Parameters

T

T extends object

Parameters

root

T

The root scene node to search for humanoid joints.

Returns

HumanoidJointMapping<T>

An object containing the mapped body and hand joints if a complete humanoid rig is detected, otherwise null.
