I’ve read through a lot of questions here on SO before asking this one.
We are currently working on an Augmented Reality App for iOS and Android to display some 3D models. We are using the Vuforia framework.
Displaying static objects works great with Vuforia, but we would like to display a 3D model which is animated. We know that this is possible using the Unity framework.
The problem is that this isn’t free and way too expensive for our purpose.
We would like to know if there is another way of displaying animated 3D models?
Maybe using another framework or something?
And if I have an application like Maya or similar, how would I possibly export the animations so I can use these on iPhone.
Thanks so much in advance,
Flo
I have used junaio and there you can use md2 models with small animations. Junaio is a free framework. Also I have used osgart(for desktop PCs) and have done skeleton animations using openscenegraph library. I think osgart now has a mobile version and it should support animations. But osgart for mobile is not free.
In addition metaio and Total immersion libraries also supports animations.
osgart,metaio and TL support even some complex animations
Hope this helps.
