AggrorJorn Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 So I am trying to create ragdolls. I have never done that before but I think it is time for it. Who knows what cool stuff comes out of it. In this topic I will keep images of my progress. Step 1: Create a static mesh for testing which exists entirely out of cylinders, boxes and a sphere. Step 2: We create the joints and link limbs together. Step 3. Apply shapes and mass to the limbs and see if there any "problems". Picture below shows the groovy dance style that my ragdoll has learned all by himself. Step 4. Just for fun: add mass to the body and torso as well. Side note: record progress to let everybody know that ragdolls are funny to work with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txfbfSXtT4I Step 5: Instead of a static position. try to set a dynamic position and move shapes to their correct places. As you can see here, I need some slight tweaking. To be continued.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggrorJorn Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 yeah. Joints don't have any debug information gizmos unfortunately, so I created visual placeholders. They are not updated in position though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josk Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I can see a new game coming 'High Dive' all it need is a small pool to drop them in, or even 'Stuntman' and place some boxes. Quote Elite Cobra Squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Red Ocktober Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 hey Aggror... your work reminded me of something a lil ahead of its time, that i saw being done a while back in Blitz3D... i dunno if it was ever completed, or is still available... but i think this would definitely be well received on the pc as well as the mobile audience, and would go well with the sort of stuff you are doing... --Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
