ZombieHorse Animation System
****************************

ZombieHorse is a data-driven animation system and testbed written in C++. ZombieHorse implements features such as:
- Loading and editing motion capture data (BVH format currently supported)
- Motion playback and blending
- Automatic discovery and parametrization of blendable motion clips in a motion dataset
- Automatic discovery of smooth transitions between motion clips
- ... all that and more!

OBTAINING AND COMPILING THE SYSTEM

Source code of the system can be obtained from the following public repository:

	https://github.com/tpejsa/ZombieHorse
	
The system can be compiled using Visual Studio 2010 or later. The solution file ZombieHorse.sln can be found in the repository root.

The following external libraries and SDKs are required to compile and use the software:
	
	boost
	wxWidgets (2.8 or later)
	OGRE SDK (1.8 or later)

HOME variables must be defined for all libraries and set to their root directories (BOOST_HOME, WXWIDGETS_HOME, and OGRE_HOME).

RUNNING THE TESTBED

Once the software is compiled, you can try out the animation testbed by running bin\release\AnimationStudio.exe. The testbed application will automatically load any BVH motions found in samples\data\animations.
