Parsing a 3D model file and understanding the different links between bone

matrices, keyframes and vertices is a task that can take a lot of time and

motivation of the developer. On top of that, combining the different bone

transform matrices for the current frame is often error prone.

[rib] is an attempt to tackle these problems and might help you save time.

Current features of [rib] include:

- Support of collada files coming from the latest Blender version.

- Precomputation of the bone matrices expressed in the world space so that you

just have to pass it to your shader for traditional GPU skinning.

- Interpolation between keyframes

- (De)/serialization in binary thanks to [bincode]

[rib] can be greatly extended, for example with the support of other format

handling skeleton data, such as the [glTF] format.

Contributions are more than welcome.
