Animation data structures

To create animation in an FBX scene, you must use several closely related FBX classes: FbxAnimStack, FbxAnimLayer, FbxAnimCurve, FbxAnimCurveNode, and FbxAnimCurveKey.

Note

Before FBX SDK 2011, the data structures for animation were the take node (or take), the take node container, take info, among others.

If you are familiar with these earlier data structures, begin by reading Migrating to the new data structures for animation.
For a tutorial on (unblended) animation with FBX data structures, see Animating a Node.
For a description of the animation data structures, especially if you need to use blended animation, start with Using animation layers to blend animation.
