Keyframer Classes

These Keyframer classes are used extensively in objects like Animation_Z, MaterialAnim_Z, Particles_Z, and Rtc_Z. They are not themselves found as objects in BigFiles.

Interpolation Techniques

Keyframer classes with Linear in the class name use Linear interpolation to interpolate values between keyframes. Classes without Linear in the name use Quadratic Bézier interpolation to interpolate values between keyframes.

Compressed

Classes with Comp (Compressed) in the name use std::int16_t values in place of float values to minimize the size of keyframes. To decompress the compressed Keyframer values, for quaternions divide the signed 16-bit integers by 2000, and for vectors divide by 4096. This yields normalized quaternions in the case of KeyframerRot_Z. For some reason, KeyframerVec4fLinearComp_Z is identical to KeyframerVec4fLinear_Z despite the former having Comp in its name.

Extended

Classes with Ext (Extended?) in the name... The only class that fits this description is KeyframerExtVec3f_Z.

Classes

The class names on this page were taken from the WALL-E Mac debug symbols.
