ozz-animation

Why we included this project

Teams building real-time 3D applications in C++ often end up writing their own skeletal animation code. ozz-animation covers that runtime work, from loading clips to sampling and blending them, with a data-oriented design that keeps memory and CPU costs predictable on constrained platforms. It is deliberately renderer-agnostic and engine-agnostic, so it drops into an existing pipeline without pulling in a whole framework. The bundled toolchain converts common DCC formats like glTF, FBX, and Collada into optimized runtime structures, which cuts down on the usual work of getting artist-authored assets into a custom engine. The runtime itself depends only on C++17 and the standard libraries, with no OS-specific code, so it ports cleanly to WebAssembly, desktop, and ARM targets.
