Phoenix Engine 8-10-05 Better Physics-Based Animation

I spent a few hours today changing the stick figure guy to a rabbit by adding arms and ears and making him walk on his toes. Also added variable speed, and several other changes.

Yeah, it looks like he is trying to stab someone invisible with his elbows.
No worries! WONDERFUL!

He does a smooth 360° while walking too.

if you're referring to me, I deleted it, I decided I'd let someone else figure it out

Anyways, David, simply amazing how the physics kick in...can't wait to see what jabs and kicks look like. though I have a suggestion to have it sothat in jabs, his fist rotates from its defensive vertical position to a fully horizontal angle in a visible notion and that in the kicks, jis leg bends at the knee and stays until he kick button is let go if you have one seperate from the punching...just my thoughts...

It looks as though you are having slight problem with framerate no worries though I assume you haven't done anything to help improve performance yet

I sense high framerates, Master Daemon.
I don't see any lag.

not quite. try 1/2 that much

great work david, thats really sweet, the ears flopping are a fantastic touch. i cant even imagine how hard this is to make

Er.. yeah, 180°
My bad

nice. definitely. but there is a lot of space for improvement. currently, only walking on his toes and turning looks... well... animated.

I think you are having framerate issues playing this gif, because I am getting around 100-200 fps
