@rbxts/character-viewport

A live-updating character viewport, which shows animations.

To use:

import { CharacterViewport } from '@rbxts/character-viewport';

const Players = game.GetService('Players');

// inside your Roact code
<CharacterViewport Player={Players.LocalPlayer}>

It's suggested that you unmount the component when not in use for performance reasons.

There are also static functions to trigger a re-render of a player's viewport locally:

import { CharacterViewport } from '@rbxts/character-viewport';

const Players = game.GetService('Players');

CharacterViewport.updatePlayer(Players.LocalPlayer);

Based off of boatbomber's character viewport. I've changed a couple things, such as converting the Heartbeat functions to use a batch array, and adding Roact lifecycle hooks, but I suspect that boatbomber spent more time than his than mine, so this message exists as a head-nod.
