class Animator

The Animator class is the base class for all model animation classes.

class Animator : public Tree<Animator>, public Packable, public Creatable<Animator>

Animator::GetAnimatorType	Returns the animator type.
Animator::GetTargetModel	Returns the model to which an animator applies.
Animator::GetTargetNode	Returns the root of the subtree within the model that is affected by an animator.
Animator::SetTargetNode	Sets the root of the subtree within the model that is affected by an animator.
Animator::GetAnimatorTransformNodeStart	Returns the index of the first node targeted for transform animation.
Animator::GetAnimatorTransformNodeCount	Returns the number of nodes targeted for transform animation.
Animator::GetOutputTransformNodeStart	Returns the index of the first node for which transform animation is actually output.
Animator::GetOutputTransformNodeCount	Returns the number of nodes for which transform animation is actually output.
Animator::GetOutputTransformTable	Returns the output table containing pointers to node transforms.
Animator::GetAnimatorTransformTable	Returns the transform table containing new node transforms.
Animator::GetAnimatorData	Returns a pointer to the animator's custom storage space.
Animator::GetWeightInterpolator	Returns the interpolator used to modify an animator's weight.
Animator::AllocateStorage	Allocates storage space for an animator's tables.
Animator::PreprocessAnimator	Called to allow an animator to perform any necessary preprocessing.
Animator::ConfigureAnimator	Called when an animator is affected by a change in the animation tree for a model.
Animator::MoveAnimator	Called to allow the animator to calculate its output.

Animator(AnimatorType type, Model *model, Node *node = nullptr);

type	The animator type.
model	The model to which the animator applies.
node	The target node, which is the root of the subtree within the model that is affected by the animator. If this is nullptr, then the root is the same as the model parameter.

The Animator class is the base class for a variety of model animation classes that can be attached to a model node. A model node may have a single animator attached to it, or it may have multiple animators attached to it organized in a tree hierarchy. When a model is animated by calling the Model::AnimateModel function, the animator objects attached to the model calculate new transforms for the nodes belonging to the model.

Tree<Animator>	Animators are organized in a tree hierarchy.
Packable	Animators can be packed for storage in resources.
Creatable<Animator>	New animator subclasses may be defined by an application, and a creator function can be installed using the Creatable class.
