Hi :)
I would like to know if any of you know a bit about NaturalMotion and =
their Active Character Technology. It sounds rather convincing, =
impressive, promising and a whole range of wonderful things. But there =
is very, very little information available on >how< they do it (apart =
from the marketing talk). There don't seem to be any online =
presentations, reports, articles, technical papers or anything =
available.
Maybe one of the ODE people can help me a bit further there. If you =
don't know what it is, have a look at:
http://www.naturalmotion.com
It really looks quite nice - I would like to know if it is all flash and =
smoke, with little substance; or something that would actually be quite =
a breakthrough in the field of articulated system control.
thanks
Henri
PS - they do make mention of some Oxford research they are supposedly =
basing their work on, but I haven't found the Oxford work in question.
