Owen

Looking at this animation brief for Owen, I'll create a Three.js animation system that handles the state machine, animation clips, and transitions described in the document. This will use clean architecture principles with dependency injection and factory patterns.

I've created a comprehensive Three.js animation system for Owen that implements the state machine and animation handling described in your brief. Here are the key architectural features:

Clean Architecture Principles:

Dependency Injection:

• OwenAnimationContext receives its dependencies (mixer, factory, etc.) through constructor injection
• State handlers are injected with the context they need
• Animation loaders are injected into factories

Factory Patterns:

• AnimationClipFactory - Creates animation clips with proper metadata parsing
• StateFactory - Creates state handlers dynamically
• OwenSystemFactory - Main factory that assembles the entire system

State Machine Implementation:

• Each state (Wait, React, Type, Sleep) has its own handler class
• States manage their own entry/exit logic and transitions
• Emotional transitions are handled with proper animation sequencing

Key Features:

1. Animation Naming Convention Parser - Automatically parses the naming convention from your brief (e.g., wait_idle_L, react_angry2type_an_T)

2. Emotional State Management - Handles emotional transitions like angry typing or shocked reactions

3. Nested Animation Support - Supports the nested sequences described in your brief

4. Activity Monitoring - Automatically transitions to sleep after inactivity

5. Message Analysis - Analyzes user messages to determine appropriate emotional responses

6. Clean Separation of Concerns:

   • Animation loading is separate from clip management
   • State logic is isolated in individual handlers
   • The main context orchestrates everything without tight coupling

Usage:

The system is designed to be easily extensible. You can:

• Add new states by creating new handler classes
• Modify emotional analysis logic
• Swap out animation loaders for different formats
• Add new animation types by extending the factory

The code follows the workflows described in your brief, handling the transitions between Wait → React → Type → Wait states, with proper emotional branching and nested animation support.
