Animation
You can save and load animation data for any
number of objec ts separately from the actual
scene via Load Animation and Save Animation
commands available on the File menu. These
commands use two file formats:
• XAF (XML Animation File) contains the
animation data.
• XMM (XML Animation Map File) contains
mapping information: how the incoming
animation data is assigned to objects in the
cur rent scene.
