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...

Raveen Rajadorai @ollarin.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Yeah! Same here, it gives you a lot for very little too, need to flip to the other direction? You already have a reference point for that!

Raveen Rajadorai @ollarin.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

In this version, we'll solve the IK using the intersection of two circles! P5js Sketch: editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... And the previous two sketches for the other two methods. editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... - Find Opposite Length editor.p5js.org/admiralra/sk... - Law of Cosines

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!

Oops. Just realized I misnamed that. It’s the aim matrix node. So I can extract the bend rotations

Alright, here it is: I collected ~100 #GameDev starter packs and put them all on one Notion page! ✨ They're categorized by: 🍃 Location 🍃 Discipline 🍃 Game Genre 🍃 & more! It also includes tips / labellers / block lists that I've stumbled on. I hope this helps you settle in & reconnect! 😊 👉 LINK

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...

Similar to the hair rig (with a different set of features) is cloth interactions with the rest of the rig: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wo4...

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...
