AnimFollow, active ragdoll, free download.

I'm doing the ragdoll and physics thing. Fairly successfully too. For any model you are animating, make a ragdoll of the model, add one script and assign the master model and you have a ragdoll doing the same animations but will be affected by physics. Add one more script and you get this:

Hahaha I want this so bad. Hilarious.

 

You are my soul-mate

Using ConfigurableJoints for this?

 

Performance: The AnimFollow script executes in about 0.06 ms on my 2012 laptop with intel i7.

Partel: I have seen your work and also concluded that we are both cut from the same, very rare, cloth. About the technology of this, I combine configurable joints with AddTorque and AddForce.

 

When are you releasing this? Very keen

 

Thank you Hamesh81, this is now in the asset store

Check out the demos and tutorials or ask questions in the forum.

 

Have a look at the web player with an updated version including foot IK. Note: this version is not yet on the asset store. It will be in about a week, I hope.

Nice I guess I will just wait for this. Because I was having this getting up glitching problem.

 

Hi Kavorka,

I've just purchased your asset and I followed your tutorial videos, how to make a good rag doll and how to animate a rag doll with AnimFollow, but I seem to have a problem, I added the ReplaceJoints_S script and it added all the configurable joints, I then added the AnimFollow_S script and added the master in the inspector, but when I press play the master disappears and the rag doll just drops to the ground, video link below.

Do you know why this would happen?

Thanks.

Kevin.

Yes, We solved it in the other thread. Glad to help.

PS. Do not turn of the warnings, I check stuff and give help in a log a warning if a see something that needs fixing. Other than that my scripts should compile cleanly, with zero warnings.

 

I am working on the next update of AnimFollow. Jump, strafe, crouch and blends of them. Character falls of ledges. Character is soft so you can push him around without him falling. I will fix so that when you push or drag the character, the animator will play an appropriate animation. There will also be some performance improvements. See some of it in this video:

Play the web player of the current version on my home page.

 

I'm actually not entirely sure what I'm looking at in that video that relates to AnimFollow, other than the pushing at the end?

 

Very accurate Steve! AnimFollow is about controlling a ragdoll with physics. So only the pushing in the end requires AnimFollow. This relates to the asset AnimFollow in the way that the example scene will include a better character controller.

 

Oh I know very well what this does, just not what you were showing in the video at the beginning. Are you simply showing that the ragdoll is matching the characters base animations?

Don't get me wrong, I think the asset is great, I just didn't know what you were adding in the latest version.

Thanks man!

 

I saw you know well, I was not telling you, I was agreeing with you. I have learned though, that many customers want to use the example character controller, and to accomodate them I am improving it. This video really first came about because a customer is doing a clumsy ninja like game and using AnimFollow. I wanted to show him that the next version will have the improved soft character quality shown in the end. I posted it also to show other customers that I am working on improving AnimFollow further and showing them what to expect in the near future.

Thanks for your interest and for liking the asset.

Edit: To be clear: The first part of the video just shows that the included character controller is now going to be usable. Some of it is actually really good. There are hardly any transitions to make the moves look canned and unnatural. Crouch and jump, as example, blends over any other state proportional to speed and elevation respectively. Strafe and walk-run-sprint also blends.

 

Quick question, hope its relevant. but does this play alright with final IK? Them both mixed together would be a beautiful thing

 

I think it is relevant. This should work well with Final IK. There is already foot IK included in the AnimFollow asset. Just time any IK to execute right before or right after the existing IK and it should be dandy.

 

I know I'm late to the party but this asset looks great!

 

about one hit reaction system like

public AnimFollow.AnimFollow_AF animFollow;
void FixedUpdate () {
animFollow.DoAnimFollow();

try keep player on leg just for see what's happen

 

Kavorka:
Great asset!!!

Do you have plans for the next version?
If yes, do you have an ETA?

 

Thank you.
I do work on an asset to surpass this. I want to release it this month, but it may have to wait until next month.

 

AnimFollow is now free to download here.

 

Hey, I have a question about this. I tried applying the anim follow script to my model. It works but only on the T pose. It doesn't actually apply any animations I try. Is there any reason for this?
Thanks a lot.
