Still working / want help? about skanimate

[Shellywell123]

Hi @nickvazz , I plan/hope to continue to work on this, but have not had the time recently and keep getting carried away with other projects! So feel free to have a go.

I considered using Myavi as a similar alternative for 3d rendering with python. I was having trouble with matplotlib rendering surfaces plots in the wrong order (can be seen in some of the gifs, where the wheels/trucks overlap when they shouldn't. So PyVista might be a good option!

I do not have a model per se. I wanted to construct the skateboard with all components as independent assets. So details such as spinning wheels could be added. And trucks could be angled/positioned if I ever got around to developing grinds etc. The board components are described detailed in board.py

I also had the idea to try and rewrite the project in c++ SKanimATE_pp, with hopes it could possibly be worked into a video game.

I felt like the next step was to work on animating a pair of shoes or a skater so that tricks such as late flips, 180s, grabs could be worked on.

Feel free to fork the project and have a play with the code. I will be interested to hear your thoughts on the project.
