About this sample
This sample processes avatar FBX animation and expression keyframes through its own Content Pipeline processor. Its player applies the custom bone and facial keys to an avatar, with forward and reverse playback, looping and clamping.
Jump, kick, punch and faint, or walk with the left stick. The camera follows the avatar across the original ground model. Four built-in Stand idles are loaded; the original random selection chooses only the first three. You can create a random avatar or reload the signed-in profile.
