Phoenix Engine 8-9-05 Physics-based animation

Post by **David** » Tue Aug 09, 2005 3:32 am

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.

Edit: Fixed gif link

LOL:!:

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

David just finished his first year of college.

Well... If there is no chance to become a beta-tester, I will have to wait for a loooooong time

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

Yeah, broken.
It worked before, Nuky.

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