Humanoid Animation
Encyclopedia
Humanoid Animation is an approved ISO
standard for humanoid modeling and animation
. H-Anim defines a specification for defining interchangeable human figures so that those characters can be used across a variety of 3D games and simulation
environments.
The H-Anim Standard was developed in the late '90s and was significantly influenced by the Jack
human modeling system and the research of experts in the graphics, ergonomics, simulation & gaming industry.
