Today I started working on procedural physics-based animation: the controls shift the character's center of mass, and his AI moves his legs to maintain balance. All or most of the Lugaru 2 animations will be using this same idea.

So David, what sort of background do you have?
Are you a mathematician or physicist?

You beat me to it. Ah well, that's what I get for using my time on less-productive things.

Yeah, but it's not working now, is it? That's all that counts... cause I have never seen it... and I'm curious.
