Functional Spec

The format uses normalized key framed quaternions stored in shorts. The format is closer to that of Poser then BVH. It consists of a header that tells the viewer what morphs to set, how long the animation plays and at what priority. After that there is an array of bones with each set of positions and rotations. The position array is only used in the root prim (or you can use it to animate the HUD, course there is no default animation for the HUD so once you do, you can't get it back into the default position). Both position & rotations use 3 shorts (16 bits * 3 = 6 bytes) per entry. For quaternions, it regenerates the 4th value since the quaternion is normalized.
