To all our Hades II players, thank you for journeying with us to the Underworld and beyond!🌖 We hope you've enjoyed it at least as much as Melinoë enjoys a trip to the old fishing pier. Our animator Craig Harris created this little scene.🎣🐸😾

Today we'll look at the FABRIK algorithm. It's a really nice and easy to understand algorithm, easy to implement and can have a lot of uses Here I'm showing it in a simple form Here's the sketch editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

Here's a version of solving inverse kinematics using CCD (Cylic Coordinate Descent). The prevoius methods were analytical methods, this one is iterative, and starts moving into solving for an N number of bones. The p5js sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk...

I've been meaning to create a little series of tutorials on some simple ways solve Inverse Kinematics. This is a simple method by using the law of cosines to solve a two bone IK. As a P5js sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... I'll make more on other ways in the future!

Here are the slides from my math talk at Virginia Tech last week. They are very similar to my other recent talks about geometric algebra. There are 140+ slides here, but I obviously didn't get through all of them in one hour. terathon.com/vtmath_lengy...

And here are the slides from my game engine architecture talk at Virginia Tech last week. These are mostly an outline of the topics I discussed while showing a bunch of real-time demos, so they don't contain much of the content of the talk, unfortunately. terathon.com/vtgame_lengy...

Continuing transferring some of my older posts from Twitter to here. From this post where I used maya nodes for a angular pose reader: bsky.app/profile/olla... Here's one using bifrost: vimeo.com/353466611?sh...

Here's a test to come up with a solution to emulate a setup I saw from ShimaAnimation (x.com/ShimaAnimati...). Since the setup mentioned I tried to come up with my own version. Ended up with something that worked very similar with some basic dot and cross products: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4lDN...

This is an old one, but figured I'd add it over here to BSky. This is a quick way to decompose Bend and Twist values from a rotation matrix in Maya: #rigtip
