3 years ago See my answer in #10 for detailed information about this.
Also about time sync, the synchronization of the result (kind of animation baking) was initially implemented for the sync with our VR app (more info here https://github.com/ubisoft/mixer/blob/master/doc/synchronization.md about that). We are currently working of specializing this "animation bake" for this app only (which cannot evaluate animation on its own, so it requires Blender to do it). Then we'll be able to implement a better time sync for Blender clients: the animation track, keyframes, curves, actions, etc, using our generic synchronization mode mentionned in #10 . It will also allow all Blender clients to have their own time control, with optional sync to another client instead of forced sync like it is the case right now.
We have a usecase to use Mixer to animate a character on one client, for example animating by hand or through motion capture, and we would like the frames saved to the animation track on one client to be synchronized with others.
Mixer does appear to synchronize the result of transform animations, and the frame number, so the only thing missing is the animation track.
We are testing this file, which does not depend on Armature support: https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/tree/master/2.0/InterpolationTest For example, the Cube.001 "CubicSpline Rotation_Cube.004" animation rotates cubes, but the animation keyframes are not being synced.
We have tested with experimental sync and found that more properties get synced, for example camera properties, but still not the keyframes themselves.
