Variables

Name Description

Public variable

uint32: 1

 

bActuallyFilterLinearKeys

Controls whether the final filtering step will occur, or only the retargetting after bitwise compression.

Public variable

uint32: 1

 

bRetarget

True = As the animation is compressed, adjust animated nodes to compensate for compression error.

Public variable

float

 

EffectorDiffSocket

Error threshold for End Effectors with Sockets attached to them.

Public variable

float

 

MaxAngleDiff

Maximum angle difference to use when testing if an animation key may be removed.

Public variable

float

 

MaxEffectorDiff

As keys are tested for removal, we monitor the effects all the way down to the end effectors.

Public variable

float

 

MaxPosDiff

Maximum position difference to use when testing if an animation key may be removed.

Public variable

float

 

MaxScaleDiff

Maximum Scale difference to use when testing if an animation key may be removed.

Public variable

float

 

MinEffectorDiff

As keys are tested for removal, we monitor the effects all the way down to the end effectors.

Public variable

float

 

ParentKeyScale

A scale value which increases the likelihood that a bone will retain a key if it's parent also had a key at the same time position.
