This repo holds all of the animations to be used for Animation DB, used for embodied speech. It also is a skill that can be used to test .keys files as they are developed. For the sake of brevity we refer to this repo as the "ADA".

Installation

These steps will create an ADA repo in your current directory:

$ git clone https://github.jibo.com/CharacterAI/jibo-anim-db-animations
$ cd jibo-anim-db-animations
$ yarn i

Editing animations within the ADA

You can use the Jibo SDK to edit animations within the ADA just as you would any other skill's animations. However, since animations within the ADA often reference other animations in the ADA by name, the ADA must be linked in as a dependency of itself.

If you plan to edit animations within the ADA, perform this step after you have completed the clone step above:

 $ yarn link
 $ yarn link jibo-anim-db-animations

Linking the ADA into the SDK Monorepo:

Often when developing a skill (in the SDK Monorepo) you need assets from a specific branch of the ADA for testing. You can accomplish this by linking that branch of the ADA into the SDK Monorepo.

From the directory that you cloned jibo-anim-db-animations:

 $ cd ~/path/to/jibo-anim-db-animations
 $ git checkout your-branch
 $ yarn link

then, in your SDK Monorepo:

 $ cd ~/path/to/sdk
 $ yarn link jibo-anim-db-animations

IMPORTANT: DO NOT link jibo-anim-db-animations into any other directory (e.g your skill, or skills/be).

From there, bootstrap/build/sync the SDK Monorepo as you normally do.

Additional Scripts

Get a list of each unique anim db category and meta entry and which .keys file it was found in: 1. Run node scripts/categories-meta.js to see the results. 1. TIP: The output can be quite long and will get cut off by the terminal, alternatively: run node scripts/categories-meta.js > info.txt and then open info.txt.
