Everything in sm64 modding builds up on each other, so you'd better watch my previous tutorials if you wanna understand anything from this point on.

Animation data starts where the 0x27 26 behavior command points to;

[segmented pointers to animation headers] (put as many pointers as necessary)

____________________________________________________
animation header

1,2 (amount of repeats, 0 for infinte)
3,4 (unknown) stores 0x3f800000 to 8033c37c if not 0
5-8 (empty?)
9,A (frame count)
B,C (node count (every 0x13 command opens one node, nodes are attached to the previous node by 0x04 commands))
D-10 (segmented pointer to transformation values)
11-14 (segmented pointer to transformation index)
____________________________________________________
transformation index:
first 0x0C bytes are for translation, though it acts weird for me,
all the other 0x0C byte groups are for limb rotation.


rotation/translation group:
1,2 (u16 X key)
3,4 (u16 value select)
5,6 (u16 Y key)
7,8 (u16 value select)
9,A (u16 Z key)
B,C (u16 value select)


framcount = obj+0x40;
if framecount bigger key
framecount = key;
value select*2+framecount*2+transformation values offset = segmented pointer to translation or rotation to use
