## Description

This MCP server provides deterministic tools for character animation resource management. Use `analyze_animation_metrics` to determine clip durations and uncompressed memory footprints. Use `calculate_optimization_potential` to estimate savings from quantization and delta compression. Use `evaluate_runtime_budget` to manage streaming budgets and calculate the memory impact of animation blending across mobile, console, and PC platforms.

## Tools

### evaluate_runtime_budget


### analyze_animation_metrics


### calculate_optimization_potential


## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the memory footprint for a 30-frame animation with 50 bones at 30 FPS on mobile.
```

**Response:** 
```
The animation duration is 1.0 second, and the uncompressed memory footprint is 180,000 bytes.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the memory impact of blending two 60-frame animations with 100 bones at 60 FPS?
```

**Response:** 
```
During the cross-fade, the memory usage will double to accommodate both animation sets simultaneously.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Estimate the savings if I apply 16-bit quantization to my animation clips.
```

**Response:** 
```
Applying 16-bit quantization will reduce your memory footprint by 50%.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the memory footprint calculated?**
Memory is calculated by multiplying the frame count by the bone count, then by the size of position and rotation data (6 floats total per bone, at 4 bytes each).

**What platforms are supported?**
The server supports mobile, console, and PC targets, applying specific constraints for each.

**Can I estimate compression savings?**
Yes, you can use `calculate_optimization_potential` to estimate savings from 16-bit quantization and delta compression.
