Added a section about the transformation matrix.

 HVA files ('''H'''ierarchical '''V'''oxel '''A'''nimation, file extension {{tt|.hva}}) contain additional information regarding a [[voxel]] model: section position, section rotation, and frame count. As its name suggests, HVA allows the voxel model to be animated when multiple frames are defined. In-game, a voxel unit is animated when moving, or in case of jumpjet units in RA2/YR, both when moving and hovering.

 Examples of animated models include the Mammoth Mk. II in TS and the Siege Chopper in YR.
 Note that HVA files are essential; when the game loads a voxel file (e.g. {{tt|tank.vxl}}), if it doesn't find the accompanying HVA file ({{tt|tank.hva}}), the game will crash.

HVA files ('''H'''ierarchical '''V'''oxel '''A'''nimation, file extension {{tt|.hva}}) contain additional information regarding a [[voxel]] model: section position, section rotation, and frame count. As its name suggests, HVA allows the voxel model to be animated when multiple frames are defined. In-game, a voxel unit is animated when moving, or in case of jumpjet units in RA2/YR, both when moving and hovering.

Each HVA frame has its own position and rotation offsets for every section in the voxel model. By manipulating these offsets, you can produce a smooth animation across the frames.

Examples of animated models include the Mammoth Mk. II in TS and the Siege Chopper in YR.

Note that HVA files are essential; when the game loads a voxel file (e.g. {{tt|tank.vxl}}), if it doesn't find the accompanying HVA file ({{tt|tank.hva}}), the game will crash.
