IK Rig: Procedural Pose Animation 

ahahahaha yes true

Exactly my thought immediately when they zoomed out at the end of the video.

That's because the title sucks :/ It has 0 appeal.

It's because he looks like a gangsta instead of a metalhead... He can't be successful in the game industry...riiiiiiight? Let's go drink a beer. Then I can continue working on my massive open world racing space mediaeval rpg that I will surely finish soon, who needs to learn things any way.

Probably the timing of the talk .

"I work for ubisoft, here are some games I can neither confirm nor deny I've worked on, btw I can't comment on the names of these games either" real confidence booster to get the show started. Stopped watching after 4:45 because it's not a good explanation at all. Each thing he sites as defining characteristics of IK can also be applied using FK, therefore they aren't a good explanation of IK. We can use retargeting of animations, and procedurally / event-driven animations at runtime in FK or IK. Who the hell is Ubisoft hiring?

An he's wearing amagician's cape

he did not explained anything basically, bad talk

This is old stuff, my dude.

fortnite would not run on ervery pc or smartphone with benchmark killing animations like this..... capitalism baby

Slaxbox: He's not talking about any old IK setup. He's talking about a system that allows for animations to be used on different rigs with the same IK technique. Life Art Studios: Toolsets like this take a lot of time to do and developers have to figure out how to manage that time and resources. That's why a lot of that stuff is iterative. Look at how Sony's first party devs crib tech from each other. Everybody stole animation stuff from naughty dog, who in turn borrows stuff from insomniac and Guerrilla.

Watching any talk from years ago on a game development subject makes you wonder wtf developers have been doing since then. Games get prettier and better at extracting money from you, but they sure don't seem to get smarter.

@@nalankadi1654 I feel that. Working on making sure life art studios doesn't go the same route.

I could imagine this sort of stuff being used to recreate Spore Damn i bet it'd look awesome in 2018

This is great no more rock glitches.

@@AlleyKatPr0 someone sounds a big jaded

@@AlleyKatPr0 someones salty LOL

@@spartanwar1185 There is a game called thrive that is basically sciencey spore that is in really early development, maybe shamble with them in their discord

Its funny too, accent plus the cadence of the way he talked made me go "wait what?.. oh, that was a joke.. oh that's funnny!" lmao

I'm sure they're aware, there's been a number of talks on this topic in the forums for at least a year (robertsspaceindustries.com/spectrum/community/SC/forum/61894/thread/hey-devs-there-is-something-your-character-animato). Not so sure what they've decided to do about it though. But I agree, they would definitely need something similar to this approach if they want it as dynamic and emergent gameplay as they say. At least they're not afraid of procedural tech so fingers crossed. Cuz the animations at the moment really breaks immersion .

Using a plug in or did you program yourself?

based

how did you forget T-Pose?

@@OwenPrescott tpose rights are human rights

Oooppo. Op

@Bonut jioo

Which package do you speak of?

@@MrJellyconelly Animation Rigging, it's a preview package so you need to enable Show Preview Packages in the advanced settings of the package manager

David Medlock in Unity: Very hard. A lot of work has to be formulated on your end - and I would suggest getting plugins such as: Final IK, and PuppetMaster (both assets are by Partel Lang (sorry: the spelling might be wrong), he's an awesome dev and you won't regret these purchases). Both of these assets will make your road to an Animation system like this 30 times lighter and easier to go through. It probably will still take months to develop and you will need some 3D maths skills and programming skills too. Amazing ideas tho, I've been working for years to do this kind of stuff in Unity.

Oh well, I had forgotten that at 50:10 he actually mentions Final IK(by Partel Lang - the developer at RootMotion). So there u go - Unity has tools for it but you still have to do a lot on your own, and particularly if you wanna save time probably buy the assets I mentioned.

I can one up for Final IK if using unity I purchased downloaded and had a simple test aim setup going within 10 mins and with minimal tweaking it still looks 10x better than unity default IK etc.

FinalIK is good. Unity's Mecanim already has builtin layer and IK pass out of the box. It requires a little programming but it's not a monumental amount of work. One of the best articles I've read about Unity's IK is found by the developer of that game where the rabbits fight each other...the hell is the name of that game...oh yeah Overgrowth. here;s a link-> ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LNidsMesxSE.html Awesome article.

Me too

Well there is software, it's just that it's more of an idea which could be implemented by anyone.

Yeah but so is physics. People still use a third party solution for it, though. Because if someone takes the time to focus all their effort on that one component they can make it much better and more polished

He even addressed this in the presentation... including the fact that there are existing IK runtimes... though, most of this is not really that new. Havok has had an animation system capable of 're-targeting' for several years now. (Not IK based though, so it would not work well when pitted against stairs, etc.) It's also not just something you can plop into an existing game. It's an entire content creation "pipeline" (impacts how humans create content). It means you have to make your animations and rigs with this process in mind right from the start. He says that if you have already started motion capture, it's probably too late to convert to this setup. This is because instead of representing animations as bone rotations, you represent them as abstract 'parameters' to various constraint drivers. (If I understood correctly, though I imaging it should be possible to convert existing captured motions into this format, even if only by hand tuning.) Of course, having a good IK system is a prerequisite, so this is where your middleware comes in, and not all existing IK solvers will necessarily be able to support these kinds of constraints... (or rules as he calls them) he completely glazes over the fact that you need an IK system in the first place, as if everybody just has one, or that they are so trivial to implement they aren't worth mentioning. I've never looked into it, but from what I understand it's about as hard as making a constraint solver for a physics engine... certainly not trivial.

Yeah, I know he addressed it, and I also understand all the caveats you have listed. All I'm saying is I think there might be a place in the market for such a solution, even given the difficulty and setup involved.

Frankly speaking, a million dollars is pretty little. It is at most 10 (underpaid) devs for 1 year at the level that the devs need to be for this kind of project.

UE4 does this? How?

Look in their examples they have a guy punching a moving wall and the IK responds to it. Same could be implemented for foot placement.

it's called locomotion system in UE4 i guess, Unity took it even futher by using Machine learning , thier tool called Kinematica.

He already mentioned FinalIK which is a Unity plugin

True, but that's a "regular" IK solution. The techniques shown here are much more advanced and can be retargeted to different armatures. It will take a while before we'll see anything like this on the Asset Store, let alone built into Unity.

Well, now Unity anounced Kinematica to somewhere in the end of this year. It's happening, sooner than you thought.

BlackDragonBE why do you think that ? I already know guy who did , it just pure math not a new tech that need to be builtin or anything .

@@youtubi123youtubipel what? can you explain a bit pls? is it here yet?

It is not the same. The skeletal controls in UE4 could be utilized to yield roughly the same thing, but with UE4's current tools it would be a lot harder and require more steps.

Ragdoll all ubisoft game so bad, damn!!The ragdoll used in HL2 was very good ten years ago and Ubisoft still can't do it. think it would be great if Far cry had a good ragdoll and extra blood and wounds..but Ubisoft is terrible, if only Rockstar games with Far cry would be great with their euphoria ragdoll!!!!

the talk was on 2016, so i bet the games would be Division 2, Assassin creezd :Origin , thier Avatar game and matbe Mario and rabids

@@The28studio It looks like AC:Oddysey uses this tech

I think the key difference is that the rig is converting FK data to IK data first, which makes it much easier to modify at runtime, whereas UE4 currently still would require you to modify FK data at runtime.
