The wonks have motion! Running laps to keep that beach bod.
The system uses all physics and inverse kinematics to move the little bird feet, resulting in some wiggly but endearing movement.
Look at him go! Combined my custom IK system with a physics controller, and now my bird son is more fabulous than ever.
This uses PID controllers to apply torques to all his body parts, which can add a lot of wobbly personality. Sometimes too much. But now the model will try to maintain the posture set by their IK system, while being fully, physically responsive.
The dynamic duo is back - over a year since they first started flailing around, now they’re hooked up to a custom full-body IK solver using some crazy hacking of the FABRIK and Kabsch algorithms. In theory, this let’s them calculate their poses based on any number of desired limb positions, and determine when goals are unreachable or require repositioning.
Much love to Zalo and his genius-level math utility tools without which this would not exist.
Still want to get the whole system physics responsive, but feeling proud of the progress
