Usually there are multiple AnimComposer animations in a single J3O file, and usually I just need to use
control =model1.getChild(0).getControl(AnimComposer.class);
control.setCurrentAction("Walk");
control.setGlobalSpeed(0.5f);
I can play it.
But now I have a problem
I now have many J3o files with animations, how do I load the animations in multiple J3o files and play the animations correctly.
I tried my ideas but they were wrong
Can you right click your Stand.j3o file and then 'edit in scenecomposer’ and then show a screenshot of what your AnimComposer looks like?
, I need to get the animation of both files to load and play. I can load one file correctly but not both files at the same time.
There isn’t anything wrong with you haha- Yes so your walk just has an animation and then your stand has those two animation clips, both prolly the same one?
Let me clarify, however
If option two can you give the game context or gaming goal that you are after? for example are you trying to animate two different npcs?
If I am understanding correctly you want to load animations from multiple files and add them to a single model?
For that, you need to load each animation file and get the AnimClip from it and retarget the clip to the model you want to play the animation on it.
See this topic:
Thank you very much for your reply，
Yes, these animations all use the same skeleton
You’re welcome!
By the way, in the code snippet, I posted on that topic, the “convert to in-place” part is dirty code. Better to use the function I posted here which is also integrated into the Wes library.
Edit:
Here it is updated to use the new “in-place animation” method:
Note that you must rename “root.x” to the root bone name on your model. In my case, I am using Auto Rig Pro addon to rig all my characters and the root bone name is “root.x” that is why I have hardcoded it in code.

and to use it:

ac.addAnimClip(newClip);
AnimClip newClip = AnimUtils.retargetClip(clip, targetModel, inPlace, newClipName);
clip
What value should Clip be passed in?
Or where the AnimClip came from？
From your animation files. Walk.j3o, Stand.j3o,…
You can get it using “AnimComposer.getAnimClip(clipName)”
Thank you for reminding me that I successfully loaded the animation of two different files 
AnimClip newClip = AnimUtils.retargetClip(control1.getAnimClip("Walk"), model, false, "Walk");
control.addAnimClip(newClip);
I added the “Walk” animation to the “Stand” and made the model very small and I tried to scale it and it didn’t show up properly
The “Stand” animation will be normal, so if I load “Stand” first and then play “Walk” then it will be normal
https://youtu.be/srr-pHL_xbQ
As shown in the video, the “Walk” model I loaded first appeared very small
Hmm… not sure what is going wrong, perhaps an issue with my code snippet that does not cover every case.
Please try to use the Wes library created by Stephen.
public static AnimClip retargetAnimation(AnimClip sourceClip, Armature sourceArmature, Armature targetArmature,
SkeletonMapping map, String clipName)
Using Wes for the first time
Could you give me a hint
SkeletonMapping mapWhat value should map be passed in?
Or where the SkeletonMapping came from？
Sorry to trouble you 
Reading the comments in the code I know that I should need the new SkeletonMapping but I don't know how I should create this object No documentation found in GitHub
No problem at all 
The code for SkeletonMapping is here:
You need it to tell which bone from the source armature should be mapped to which bone on the target armature by specifying the joint names. In your case because they are using the same skeleton then the source and target joint names are the same so you can do something like this:
targetArmature.getJointList().forEach(joint ->
skeletonMapping.addMapping(new BoneMapping(joint.getName(), joint.getName()))
);
Problem description
Every time “Wlak” is played, the model shrinks
The difference is that even playing “Stand” doesn’t make the “Walk” size normal compared to the previous one
If you use the retargetClip in AnimUtils then the size of “Walk” will become normal after the target animation “Stand” is played
It makes me feel confused
This seems like a lot of potential issues, Icy. Why not just have all the animations that you want on the model that you want?
I think it would be easier to have a bunch of different models than one set of animations that you try to use for all your models if that makes sense
Since it is an animation file produced by several different action designers, I need to convert these animation files into j3o for splicing
oooo designers, gotchya
When donuts and pspeed helped me equip a weapon donuts shared that when you attach a weapon to a hand it almost always shrinks unless everything has a local scale of 1. Might not be helpful at at but perhaps you could look into the scales of all these different pieces and for example try increasing the scale of the Walk file. Or what did you do to try to increase its scale?
