| - | ====== Channels ====== | ||
| - | |||
| - | Channels are used for grouping joints. | ||
| - | They allow animations to play only on a subset of the model joints, so that multiple animations can play on different parts of the model at the same time. | ||
| - | |||
| - | For example, you can play a walking animation on the legs, an animation for swinging the arms on the upper body, and an animation for moving the eyes on the head. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Animation channels are defined and inspected in the Model Editor as described below. | ||
| - | The //use// of channels is up to the game's script or C++ code. | ||
| - | |||
