construct_skeleton

Constructs a skeleton geometry with only the properties that are required for a valid skeleton structure.

Inputs

joint_parent_index

The array<uint> containing the joint's parent index values, defining the parent joint's position in the data arrays.

The ordering of joints is relatively flexible, however, one has to ensure that a joint's parent precede its position in the joint_parent_index data array.

If a joint is a root or is isolated, its parent index value must be equal to the value returned by the invalid_index node. The following code snippet summarizes the validation of each joint_parent_index values.

valid = joint_parent_index[i] < i || joint_parent_index[i] == 4294967295

joint_pivot_matrix

The array<double4x4> containing the joint's pivot matrix values, defining the joint transform's rest state in world space. It defines the space in which scaling, rotation, and translation occur.

This is usually a static input.

Outputs

skeleton

The resulting skeleton.
