This is surpisingly well made despite also looking unpolished.

I personaly had the best experience with torque based character they are smooth for me and way easier to use

Hate to ditto a question but are you developing these projects in Unity? I'm looking to get started again I just was curious what your go to was

Do you use external forces to keep the torso up while using IK on the legs to create the illusion of the character self balancing?

Bro, we can use this to remake the gta 4 ragdoll physics

Thanks man- great tutorial

This is great!

I like the animation system works to the point, I can emphasise my fellas lack of a brain, by physically shaking him left and right with the joystick while grabbing his shoulders.

If you change the punch animation from a jab to a hook when the AI has both hands on you, that interaction will look alot better, the players punches will be able to reach over the arms of the AI (more natural). It may also help to widen the base of their feet just a bit when engaged in a clinch. The AI may be better situated to balance itself and will also look more natural. (both are standing too straight up with their feet too close together, realistically.. they would have fallen a few times tripping their own feet and each others legs

Looks awesome! Sometimes it looks a bit choppy because of the tracking but you can smooth or ease-out the response of the avatars facial animations. 😊

Can it work for Roblox???

Some good information, sadly harder to work with due to how dated this video is, unity has changed a fair bit, even that asset pack isn't available anymore..

Прикольно)

Your channel is what introduced me to active ragdolls beyond simply knowing about gangbeasts, and I’m always looking forward to your posts On another note, are those footsteps procedural? And were they difficult to get working?

What do you use to power the ragdoll joints? Are you taking the "floating pins" approach or are the joints actually powered? If you'd like to get some reference on handling ragdoll bodies I've got plenty of stuff on my channel, primarily designed around VR full body ragdoll but it applies outside of that too. My aim in general is to build a very easy to control ragdoll and then use standard game practices to make the NPCs animate and move the targets in the way they want to coupled with some procedural elements like how to move the legs when running around.

This would be hot tech for DJs in VRChat that get their instance full all the time! What do we need to do to implement this in a world and it's costs? I'm very interested!

How to you come up with the code ? Are you using an asset like animation rigging or puppetmaster?

Managed to get a fair amount in testing after recording this last night. Some very good push and dragging the target around the scene, with relatively simple code. Just need to get the combat manager set up to be able to handle all these different potential states, but the ragdolls are holding up.

woah nice ragdoll, hope to see it in its full form

Вау, это круто!

What engine is this?

I wonder if we should move to more machine learning walking brain

For anyone using this in modern unity, and having a DrawSphere error. Go to the Editor._AlternateBakedLights script, find the Handles.DrawSphere methods, replace with Handles.SphereHandleCap and add the EventType.Repaint at the end. Should work!

Seems like you dont uderstand how root motion used in games. Character moved by scripts in both cases, only difference with root motion - root bone position is used to tweak body postion, so it look more naturaly. When jusracter fall and jump it is always work for physics engine, you cant animate gravity. Is”t it obvios?

How would this work with moving objects? Like players and enemies

Heya, any tips on how you did the hidding in shadow thing, when you turned off the lights?

You guys are great! but after import it gives this message "Assets\AlternativeLights\Editor\Editor_AlternateBakedLight.cs(147,29): error CS0117: 'Handles' does not contain a definition for 'DrawSphere'" using Unity 2022.3.15

Amazing vr chat content and designs

Cool system.. do you know if there is some way to create your own physics system for vr chat??

Nice job getting it synced! That's always the hardest part, in my experience. If you're interested in pursuing the PvP aspect, there's a guy called GoFluffYaself who has done a lot of work on avatar particle pvp. Might be worth contacting him about it. In any case, best of luck finding all the edge cases, and happy holidays!

Where can I try it?

4 years later and this is the first video that made me realize u can just delete the directional light and build with planes then fake the lighting

One thing I'd caution would be to design your animation tree to make sure which shape you end up drawing doesn't get desync'd. Very cool system though!

This is gold. Take my sub

This is awesome!!

Очень круто, хочется видеть больше игр с такой системой ходьбы, выглядит живым.

This is amazing! Do you use IK in some way or do you control the position of the limbs modifying directly the angles?

sweet video!

It seems I can't use projectors like @ 3:40 in your video because I'm using URP. Is there an alternative way to using projectors in URP like you did in this video? I really like your dark rooms technique

Офигенная механика получилась)

Best explanation out there

Would it be a good approach to have both torque driven and force driven? And lower the weight of the torque driven forces when knocked around

Nice system! I've seen a 3D video system called Holospace that records a "volumetric video" and plays it back - great for multiple people, but it never looks as clean. Your system seems great in that you can have the avatar in full quality acting out the motions. I'm interested to see how this goes, I think that recording and playing back 3D content will become a big part of VR someday, just as 2D video is massive right now.

I would work with u

Welcome back. Looking forward to it :D

LFG!!!

Looking forward to it. I love your stuff on procedural animation. Hope the mic issues in this video get ironed out beforehand though

There Will be a mobile version
