Introduction

This is a simple serializer to save and load an animation (animationtrack) to and from disk in binary format.

It was created for use with the Camcorder camera motion recorder, but could be used for any animationtrack keyframe based animation.

Code

• AnimationSerializer-h
• AnimationSerializer-cpp

Usage

AnimationSerializer animSerializer;
animSerializer.exportAnimation(animation, "theAnimation.anim");

AnimationSerializer animSerializer;
Animation* anim = animSerializer.importAnimation("theAnimation.anim");
