In game engines (or even when exported from the 3D modelling application), animation data is baked to a simpler representation because, for games, processing beziers and IKs is way too expensive for real-time. Just decoding the animation, however, is not enough.

This does not let you use SVGs directly as 2D meshes yet, but it's on the roadmap for future releases. It's also very easy to use.

By adding a simple cache to it, we made it so that light map texture coordinates are only computed when there's an actual change to the geometry of the mesh. Here you can see the Sponza demo model, with baked direct lighting, and the corresponding light map: Note that this first pass is not taking occlusion into account yet.
