Animating 3D Graphics - Marmalade SDK Mobile Game Development Essentials - page 148

The skeleton that this animation will be applied to is the first thing that the CIwAnim
instance will specify. This is then followed by a number of CIwAnimKeyFrame
declarations that detail the positions and orientations of each affected bone at a
particular time index.
Key frames do not need to list the orientation and position of each bone in the
skeleton. If a bone has not moved relative to its parent, its position will remain as
it was at the previous key frame.
The exporters will create an anims sub-directory to hold all the ANIM files. An
example of an ANIM file is provided in the following code; but as with the SKIN file,
this is just a partial example so as to not ill the pages of this topic with lots of numbers:
CIwAnim
{
skeleton "FlagPoleBase"
// Keyframe# 1
CIwAnimKeyFrame
{
time 0
bone "FlagPoleBase"
pos {-0.38309,-1.27709,0}
