Extract keyframe info from animation clips

Question

I have a 100 frame walk animation for example and I want to extract the elbow position, orientation (global/local whatever works) from the clip at any frame say 24.

Is there any way to do it?

I would simply do something like this:

AnimationState state = animation["walk"]; state.enabled = true; state.weight = 1; state.normalizedTime = 24.0f / 100; animation.Sample();

Transform t = transform.Find("root/pathToElbow/elbow"); Debug.Log("Global position: " + t.position);

Alternative is to read actual curves/keyframes. You can do that only in Editor using AnimationUtility class.
