The FSHU (caFe SHader parameter animation Uber) subfile stores shader parameter animations. It appears as a subfile of a BFRES file in the 3rd index group for general parameter animations, in the 4th index group for color animations, and in the 5th index group for SRT texture animations.
Format
An FSHU file begins with an FSHU header. This is then followed by a number of sections pointed to by the header, many of which can occur multiple times. The purpose of these sections is described in the table below.
FSHU shares many similarities with the FSKA, FTXP, FVIS, FSHA and FSCN subfiles, which mostly only differ in the structure describing what is changed by animations over time, but reusing the same animation curve and key structures, and even headers being very similar to one another.
Header (FSHU)
Every FSHU begins with an 0x34 byte FSHU header.

Curve
Curves store how animations are performed over time and store the required keys and values for this. They appear in multiple animation subfiles, and their header is of 0x24 bytes size (for BFRES versions earlier than 3.4.0.0, they are of 0x20 bytes size).

Frames
The Curve header points to a Frame array which stores values controlling at which frame a Key from the Key array is placed. Thus, the array has as many elements as specified in Key count. The data type of the frames is given in the Curve's Flags.
The end of the array is aligned to 4 bytes.
Keys
The Curve header points to a Key array which stores the key values and additional values to interpolate the curve from one point to the next. Thus, the array has as many elements as specified in Key count, multiplied by the number of elements stored per key (depending upon the CCC Curve Type bits in the Curve Flags as described above). The data type of each element is given by the KK Key Type bits in the Curve Flags.
The end of the array is aligned to 4 bytes.
Step Curves
The elements apparently represent the key values directly.
Linear Curves
For linearly interpolated curves, 2 elements are stored per key:
- Value at which the key is set. To get the final value, scale and then offset it.
- Delta to value at next frame to which the curve linearly runs. To get the final value, scale it. If there is no next frame, this is always 0.
A key can be discarded by the next key if that one is stored at the same frame. In that case, only the value of the next key is stored, and the delta of the previous key is adjusted to run to the value of the now discarded key.
This example curve's keys are stored as SByte elements. The curve scale was computed as 2, the offset as 200 and the curve delta (if available in the BFRES version) as 300. Due to the lower key in frame 20 being discarded in favor of the higher key, only 3 keys are stored in 6 elements as follows.
Point | Array Index | Raw Value | *2 (Scale) | +200 (Offset) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
0,0 | 0 | -100 | -200 | 0 | Initial key with value 0. |
(20,254) | 1 | 127 | 254 | - | Delta to end value of initial key at next frame. |
20,254 | - | - | - | - | This key is discarded in favor of the next. |
20,400 | 2 | 100 | 200 | 400 | Overrides previous key. |
(30,300) | 3 | -50 | -100 | - | End value of overriding key at next frame. |
30,300 | 4 | 50 | 100 | 300 | Value of fourth (but third stored) key. |
(end) | 5 | 0 | 0 | - | Since no frame follows, always 0. |
Hermite Curves
For hermite curves, 4 elements are stored for each key. It is unclear how to exactly interprete them to form the curve out of it.
