[ODE] IK character place feet on the ground/dynamic objects

[Jon Watte (ODE)]

The IK you will be using is run-time IK in the engine. Each rendered 
frame, you cast from the foot into terrain, and run a two-bone IK on the 
hip/knee to place the foot where it should go. Then adjust the ankle by 
the counter-rotation of the knee.

Cheers,

Get the offset correction, correct end of the step with the offset. Animation look's almost ok, at the middle of step a foot goes into a obstacle. Here I present this:
