[name]

Use an array of [page:Bone bones] to create a skeleton that can be used by a [page:SkinnedMesh].

Example


// Create a simple "arm"

var bones = [];

var shoulder = new THREE.Bone();
var elbow = new THREE.Bone();
var hand = new THREE.Bone();

shoulder.add( elbow );
elbow.add( hand );

bones.push( shoulder );
bones.push( elbow );
bones.push( hand );

shoulder.position.y = -5;
elbow.position.y = 0;
hand.position.y = 5;

var armSkeleton = new THREE.Skeleton( bones );

See the [page:SkinnedMesh] page for an example of usage with standard [page:BufferGeometry].

Constructor

[name]( [param:Array bones], [param:Array boneInverses] )

[page:Array bones] - The array of [page:Bone bones]. Default is an empty array.
[page:Array boneInverses] - (optional) An array of [page:Matrix4 Matrix4s].

Creates a new [name].

Properties

[property:Array bones]

The array of [page:bone bones]. Note this is a copy of the original array, not a reference, so you can modify the original array without effecting this one.

[property:Array boneInverses]

An array of [page:Matrix4 Matrix4s] that represent the inverse of the [page:Matrix4 matrixWorld] of the individual bones.

[property:Float32Array boneMatrices]

The array buffer holding the bone data when using a vertex texture.

[property:DataTexture boneTexture]

The [page:DataTexture] holding the bone data when using a vertex texture.

Methods

[method:Skeleton clone]()

Returns a clone of this Skeleton object.

[method:null calculateInverses]()

Generates the [page:.boneInverses boneInverses] array if not provided in the constructor.

[method:null pose]()

Returns the skeleton to the base pose.

[method:null update]()

Updates the [page:Float32Array boneMatrices] and [page:DataTexture boneTexture] after changing the bones. This is called automatically by the [page:WebGLRenderer] if the skeleton is used with a [page:SkinnedMesh].
