they’re not doing anything procedurally – they just play a very short animation and then turn the ragdoll on so it looks good. only killzone 2 is blending mo cap animation with ragdolls

The ideal solution would probably be a Left 4 Dead style procedural ‘blending’ of pre-rendered and ragdoll animations.

yeah i just cant wait for those “realistic” animations that leave a body hanging in air, or get stuck between tiles..

death animation -> ragdoll is always the best choice now, u just need good death animations, they can’t be to expressive.

Then in the first version to be released.There will be no mutilations and gore? Will there be blood?

I would spend a year writing something like euphoria.

Ragdolls are cool but they are nowhere near realistic. I just made temporary death animations which look 10x cooler than any ragdoll effect would produce. I need ragdolls mainly for limb separating and other gore effects. But that will come next year.

Yea, Natural Motions Euphoria is the shit. Though too bad it’s for 3D only. MM, you should look at Euphorias idea of procedural animation and ragdolls and adapt it. It will make your game even more Procedural.

Indeed; Euphoria is where it’s at.

but tell why are they not in the code yet?? your ‘physics’ don’t support it yet??

so far the ragdolls you’ve shown were crap, soldat has crap ragdolls(kudos that u made them back then) and now a ‘normal’ ragdoll nothing special but look at euphoria, uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 – pure ownage.

Ragdolls in next release. On a side note: ragdolls are overrated.
