What has to be send to the client

Initialization step::

• binpose cuticle mesh, bindpose muscles point cloud (Collada files)
• skinning weights and indices for cuticle and muscles (Collada files)

Every timestep::

• quaternions for each skeleton segment (plain text file)
• translation of skeleton root (plain text file)

@gitmado is it possible to have one collada file for the cuticle (which includes skinning weights and indices) and one for each muscle (each including skinning weights and indices) and put them together client side?

@tarelli Yes, it is possible, but... For now, cuticle is in one Collada file and muscles are in another file. The reason is that the number of particles for all the muscles and for the cuticle is similar. Thus, we have two files with similar size. The muscles can be separated into separate files. In that case we are going to have 96 small Collada files. The question is, what would it be good for ? If we are able to transfer cuticle Collada, we should be able to transfer muscle Collada as well. Or is there some point I am missing ?
