RE: Skeleton
I start to make same test transformation and have one problem to solve. When i move character, the static angle (for example PI/2) didn't change but becouse character move or rotate the transformation is changing. What i have to make to stay in one place when character move, rotate.

RE: Skeleton
I try solv this problem and nothing work. I have Item with skeleton. I get pos of this point:
Quote: if(SkelPoint *point=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
Matrix transform;
skelPos=point->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
transform.setPos(skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.hand_l,transform,true);
}
skelPos is in good position but hand didn't go to that point. What i have to do?
How i should transform Matrix to place hand in good position?

RE: Skeleton
inverse kinematics doesn't work by moving bones, but by rotating them.

RE: Skeleton
So i working on it but don't move ahead. I try to get angle between bones and then transform arm using that angle.

The problem is that when i get position of two bones that are in Player::cskel and get angle when i rotate character nothing change so angle is good. But when i get my SkelPoint form Item::Skeleton and get angle between arm and that point when i rotate character the arm rotate. Why arm rotate in second example? If maybe you have some time you can write some tutorial how to transform character cskel?

Code to get matrix:
Quote:Matrix3 PLAYER::skelTransform(Vec first, Vec second, Vec dest)
{
//First - gorna kosc ramienia
//Second - dolna kosc ramienia
//Dest - punkt docelowy

Matrix3 transform;
AngleX = AngleBetween(Vec2(first.y,first.z),Vec2(second.y,second.z));
AngleY = AngleBetween(Vec2(first.x,first.z),Vec2(second.x,second.z));
AngleZ = AngleBetween(Vec2(first.x,first.y),Vec2(second.x,second.y));

transform.setRotateXY(AngleX,AngleY);
transform.setRotateZ(AngleZ);

if(SkelBone *bone=cskel.skeleton()->findBone("ArmLU"))
{
length=bone->length;
length*=1.8;
}
if(SkelBone *bone1=cskel.skeleton()->findBone("ArmLD"))
{
length1=bone1->length;
length*=1.8;
}
return transform;
}
And in void PLAYER::animateUpdateMatrix(C Matrix &body_matrix):
Quote: if(inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R].valid()) // if has item in right hand
{
if(OrientP *point=cskel.findPoint("HandR"))
{
Vec current_dir=-point->cross(); // this is the current weapon direction in world space
Matrix3 transform; transform.setRotation(current_dir,desired_dir,1); // create matrix which transforms current direction into desired direction
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(sac.arm_ru,transform); // call this method to perform a world space transformation
}
if(OrientP *point=inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().skeleton->findPoint("secondHand"))
{
if(CSkelBone *bone=cskel.findBone("ArmLU"))
if(CSkelBone *bone1=cskel.findBone("ArmLD"))
{
skelPos=point->pos*inv.slot[SLOT_ARM_R]().matrixScaled();
skelPos1=bone->pos;
skelPos2=bone1->pos;
Matrix3 transform=skelTransform(skelPos1,skelPos2,skelPos);
cskel.transformInWorldSpace(cskel.getBoneI("ArmLD"),transform);
}
}
}

Thanks for any advice

RE: Skeleton
tutorial for advanced inverse kinematics is listed in the version history\roadmap
I'll develop it in the future, right now busy with other stuff (iphone/ipad soon grin)

RE: Skeleton
Thanks for answer. To keep working i have ask:

1) How get position of skeleton joint between bones?
2) How get length of the bone?

RE: Skeleton
1) there isn't any joint, there are only bones and their initial position
SkelBone::pos * CSkelBone::matrix()
2) SkelBone::length * CSkeleton::scale()

RE: Skeleton
This commands you post are working good. But how i can get position during animation of mesh. I have something like that:
Quote:Matrix skelPos;
Skeleton skel;
CSkeleton cskel;

Quote: if(cskel.findBone("HandR"))
{
skelPos.setPos(skel.getBone("HandR").pos);
skelPos*=cskel.matrix();
}
It works good but when i try move this point according to Cskel I can't.
I try transform start point using that code:
Quote:skelPos.transformAtPos(skel.getBone("HandR").pos*cskel.matrix(),cskel.getBone("HandR").matrix());
skelPos.setTransformAtPos(skel.getBone("HandR").pos*cskel.matrix(),cskel.getBone("HandR").matrix());
But it does't work. Matrix move/rotate according the animation but position is in other place then CSkelBone.
I need to get position of CSkelBone during the animation.
