– SOLUTION IS IN BOTTOM OF COMMENTS –
I am in the process of writing an animation system with my own Collada parser and am running into an issue that I can't wrap my head around.
I have collected my mesh/skin information (vertices, normals, jointIds, weights, etc), my skeleton information (joints, their local transforms, inverse bind position, hierarchy structure), and my animation (keyframe transform position for each joint, timestamp).
My issue is that with everything calculated and then implemented in the shader (the summation of weights multiplied by the joint transform and vertex position) - I get the following:
When …
