Implement the `AnimationGraph`, allowing for multiple animations to be blended together. (#11989) This is an implementation of RFC #51: https://github.com/bevyengine/rfcs/blob/main/rfcs/51-animation-composition.md Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined in that RFC, because two-phase animation has now landed. # Objective Bevy needs animation blending. The RFC for this is [RFC 51]. ## Solution This is an implementation of the RFC. Note that the implementation strategy is different from the one outlined there, because two-phase animation has now landed. This is just a draft to get the conversation started. Currently we're missing a few things: - [x] A fully-fleshed-out mechanism for transitions - [x] A serialization format for `AnimationGraph`s - [x] Examples are broken, other than `animated_fox` - [x] Documentation --- ## Changelog ### Added * The `AnimationPlayer` has been reworked to support blending multiple animations together through an `AnimationGraph`, and as such will no longer function unless a `Handle<AnimationGraph>` has been added to the entity containing the player. See [RFC 51] for more details. * Transition functionality has moved from the `AnimationPlayer` to a new component, `AnimationTransitions`, which works in tandem with the `AnimationGraph`. ## Migration Guide * `AnimationPlayer`s can no longer play animations by themselves and need to be paired with a `Handle<AnimationGraph>`. Code that was using `AnimationPlayer` to play animations will need to create an `AnimationGraph` asset first, add a node for the clip (or clips) you want to play, and then supply the index of that node to the `AnimationPlayer`'s `play` method. * The `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()` method has been removed and replaced with the `AnimationTransitions` component. If you were previously using `AnimationPlayer::play_with_transition()`, add all animations that you were playing to the `AnimationGraph`, and create an `AnimationTransitions` component to manage the blending between them.

/// A graph structure that describes how animation clips are to be blended

///
/// Applications frequently want to be able to play multiple animations at once
/// and to fine-tune the influence that animations have on a skinned mesh. Bevy
/// uses an *animation graph* to store this information. Animation graphs are a
/// directed acyclic graph (DAG) that describes how animations are to be
/// weighted and combined together. Every frame, Bevy evaluates the graph from
/// the root and blends the animations together in a bottom-up fashion to
/// produce the final pose.
///
/// There are two types of nodes: *blend nodes* and *clip nodes*, both of which
/// can have an associated weight. Blend nodes have no associated animation clip
/// and simply affect the weights of all their descendant nodes. Clip nodes
/// specify an animation clip to play. When a graph is created, it starts with
/// only a single blend node, the root node.
///
/// For example, consider the following graph:
///
/// ```text
/// ┌────────────┐
/// │ │
/// │ Idle ├─────────────────────┐
/// │ │ │
/// └────────────┘ │
/// │
/// ┌────────────┐ │ ┌────────────┐
/// │ │ │ │ │
/// │ Run ├──┐ ├──┤ Root │
/// │ │ │ ┌────────────┐ │ │ │
/// └────────────┘ │ │ Blend │ │ └────────────┘
/// ├──┤ ├──┘
/// ┌────────────┐ │ │ 0.5 │
/// │ │ │ └────────────┘
/// │ Walk ├──┘
/// │ │
/// └────────────┘
/// ```
///
/// In this case, assuming that Idle, Run, and Walk are all playing with weight
/// 1.0, the Run and Walk animations will be equally blended together, then
/// their weights will be halved and finally blended with the Idle animation.
/// Thus the weight of Run and Walk are effectively half of the weight of Idle.
///
/// Animation graphs are assets and can be serialized to and loaded from [RON]
/// files. Canonically, such files have an `.animgraph.ron` extension.
///
/// The animation graph implements [RFC 51]. See that document for more
/// information.
