What is the plan for the Animation Tab? #577
Description
Hey @julien-moreau what do you have in mind for the Animation Tab?
Since I added the BVH importer to Babylon.js I 've been thinking how I can demonstrate it in a nice way and I think the editor could be an amazing showcase.
Are you planning to have something similar to the assets? I was thinking about letting users import the animations from BVHs and maybe even retarget existing characters (or any model with bones) to the animations.
Is that similar to what you have in mind?

This is exactly what I have in mind. I also planned to try Rokoko (https://www.rokoko.com/) to see what can be done.
I'm preparing the annoucenement for the Editor right now with a demo made using animations (a cinematic as a video for now).
The next step I have in mind would be to focus on models that are animated (either thanks to BVH or what Rokoko exports). It includes loading, re-targeting, composition etc.

@julien-moreau sounds really interesting! Eager to see it.
I have a working prototype of full body animation using media pipe (webcam). But maybe it's too out of scope for the Babylonjs Editor. Maybe it could be a plugin?
Anyways, let me know if you have any problems with the BVH loader, I didn't have many examples to test when I coded it.

@julien-moreau
Something that I just remembered, some time ago I was playing around with morph targets on blender, is that something we should add to animations or keep it separate? What do you think?

@julien-moreau Btw, I am not sure how much you check the forum but recently a user posted a playground using the native BVH loader.
