Remarks

This type is available only in the XNA-compatible builds of the DigitalRune.Animation.dll for Windows and Xbox 360.)

The AvatarPose stores the facial expression (see property Expression) and the skeleton pose (see property SkeletonPose) of an Xbox LIVE Avatar.

The skeleton and the skeleton pose is automatically created from an XNA AvatarRenderer instance. The avatar renderer must already be in its "ready" state (AvatarRender.State == AvatarRendererState.Ready) when the AvatarPose is created.

IAnimatableObject:
The AvatarPose implements the interface IAnimatableObject, which means that it can be animated using the animation system. The animatable properties are SkeletonPose and Expression. (When calling the method GetAnimatablePropertyT(String) directly the properties are identified using the strings "SkeletonPose" and "Expression".)

IAvatarAnimation:
The class implements the interface IAvatarAnimation, which means the object can be passed to an AvatarRenderer for rendering.
