forge-pipeline-morph-animations

What problem does it solve?

Enable real-time morph target animation in SDL GPU projects by integrating morph data, evaluating weights, and applying per-vertex deltas via a ForgeSceneMorphModel. This solves the lack of vertex-level animation capability for deformable meshes in real-time graphics pipelines.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Morph loading and parsing: Load .fmesh and .fanim assets and decode morph targets with the Forge pipeline tools.
• CPU-based delta blending: Compute per-vertex position and normal deltas on the CPU and blend according to animation weights.
• GPU upload & shading: Upload blended deltas to GPU storage buffers and apply in the vertex shader for displaced rendering.
• Use Case: Add expressive facial or character morph animations to a real-time SDL GPU scene with shadow and main passes using ForgeSceneMorphModel.

Quick Start

Load a morph model with forge_scene_load_morph_model and advance animation each frame with forge_scene_update_morph_animation.
