Euphoria has created a character animation system that doesn't require an animator to generate all possible movements of a character. Combining AI, Physics, and Biomechanics, characters react realistically to any situation thrown at them, as shown in this demo.
This is the animation tech behind GTA4 and other upcoming games.

Stumble This








In the recent Star Wars: Force Unleashed demonstration they showed more of this... Though some of their self preservation reactions seemed to have some unintended behaviours.
Indiana Jones and Force Unleashed of course combine this tech with Digital Molecular Matter (DMM) to give people that react to stimuli as well as objects that break and react as well... so being able to through someone through a glass window and have it all react realistically... THAT's exciting.
Still, I seriously want GTA4... except I have a PC... so I have to wait, what, usually a year. And on top of that I never have time to play games anymore
Its a really nice system, very cool
and note to me to stop arsing about with the channels!
