Skeleton3D

Inherits: Node3D < Node < Object

A node containing a bone hierarchy, used to create a 3D skeletal animation.

Description

Skeleton3D provides an interface for managing a hierarchy of bones, including pose, rest and animation (see Animation). It can also use ragdoll physics.

The overall transform of a bone with respect to the skeleton is determined by bone pose. Bone rest defines the initial transform of the bone pose.

Note that "global pose" below refers to the overall transform of the bone with respect to skeleton, so it is not the actual global/world transform of the bone.

To setup different types of inverse kinematics, consider using SkeletonIK3D, or add a custom IK implementation in Node._process as a child node.
