Description

Might be a good time to think about moving animation-mixer into core. THREE.ColladaLoader has finally moved to the new animation system, meaning that animation-mixer will work with both glTF and COLLADA. Per my recent blog post, it's also not that hard to create animated characters using e.g. Mixamo.

Research direction

Review the current implementation in aframe-extras at src/loaders#animation and the referenced THREE.ColladaLoader and new animation system behavior. Determine the core integration scope and acceptance criteria for animated glTF and COLLADA characters; done means animation-mixer is available in A-Frame core and works with both formats.
