Check out the newer tutorial: Modding a Left 4 Dead 2 Survivor) As bookeater mentioned, actually baking the bone movements without IK would require python in this case. Getting the armature to work with the ragdoll physics does depend on having IK constraints, which might not be usable in the environment you’re in. I’m not entirely sure that this method will work for what you’re doing.

Actually, that stuff is more likely covered in my previous book. That’s just a matter of rigging and skinning. So if it is like that, without mesh, then it’s not a solution.

However, if you did have to shift from ragdoll physics to regular animation within a single shot, it would be possible to set up an armature capable of doing that.įor more detail, of course, you know where to look… The easiest thing would be to make a special ragdoll armature for use only in the shot you need it. So, for example, doing this effect on an already set up rig like Mancandy would require a lot of tweaking of Mancandy to get the IK chains in place. The armature needs to be somewhat specially designed to have length-1 IK chains for all the bones that need to be controlled by the ragdoll, which are targeted to empties parented to the rigid bodies. You start with a rag doll built of cube objects linked with hinges (there are a number of rigid body ragdoll examples available on the Bullet website). The method I use seems to be basically the same as what bookeater suggests. IMO Tony could share that part of the book for free
