Procedural Animation
Hi guys!

I just started to work with Esenthel Engine, and I have to say I'm very impressed. I happy to see an engine, what have many possibilities like this. The only feature what I missing, is the Procedural Animations. I know maybe I could do myself, but I'm afraid I'm not enought good C++ programmer yet, to implement it myself, so I turn to this feature request thread, maybe someone get spirit to work on this, or even it will goes to roadmap.
Here is a little video from Overgrowth about this feature:

Best regards, krokodilcapa

RE: Procedural Animation
Inverse kinematic is the term you want to use.

RE: Procedural Animation
I'm sure you're right, I'm don't really know much about animation systems. smile So that feature's base when character's positions "fit to terrain angles" is the IK?

RE: Procedural Animation
Essentially yes that is what IK is about (type define: Inverse Kinematics in Google if you want more information on it). IK tutorial is in the roadmap I believe but that may take some time. Don't worry about not being a good enough cpp programmer because much of it is about the mathematical algorithms you write to do this.
