About this sample
The sample switches a random avatar between Stand, Celebrate, Clap and Wave. Its own animation implementation interpolates every bone's rotation and translation over 250 milliseconds, producing a smooth transition between the old and new poses. Toggle blending to compare that transition with an immediate switch.
The same camera controls let you inspect the motion from different angles, and the right shoulder button creates another random avatar.
