OK, couldn't resist any longer

It isn't perfect by any means, but it is starting to get good.

It is about 3 megs.

Use SHIFT to select a limb.
Use SPACEBAR to lift by the limb.
Use ARROW to throw him around.

Known issues:
-The shoulder joints act funny sometimes.
-I have to make some improvements to the collision bounds (namely on the head).
-Vertex weighting needs some work. Mostly noticable in the chest/shoulder area and his upper legs/ass.

Don't hurt him too bad

Please post comments.

This is brilliant!

Wolf, you're one of the few guys actually doing anything worthwhile in this community. I know you've been around for a long time too. I remember when I first arrived here I found some RTS/RPG navigation code of yours quite fascinating and learned alot from it.

Thank You,
Keep it up!

Woo! Well done, is this done with the basic limbs you have in your wrapper now, or have you added some features? I think it needs more gravity though , he just doesn't go splat enough on the floor . Also the normals of the model look a bit off (that's nothing to do with the physics mind)

Trying is the first step towards faliure.

I just came here to post exactly what Hamish just said, hehe. Aye, the thing as a whole is fantastic but the gravity needs to be stronger, feels like he's floating down on a parachute. And yes, the way he reacted to light and shadow was strange. Still, well done and a fantastic job!

Thanks for all of the comments so far guys!

I have found problems with the head/neck and upper arms that is causing the occasional strange/missed collision. I'm still trying to work out what is causing it. More than likely it is something stupid like a typo and hard to track down.

The gravity should be a little stronger, I agree. I also DO have to work on the vertex weights some more. I think that is what is causing the normals problem that a couple people have mentioned.

@Hammish
I've only used commands for this that are in the current version of the wrapper. Nothing magic about it.

I'm working on another demo so you can move the camera around. I'll probably also include a couple other ways to mame the guy

In a few places he starts having seziures. It hurts my eyes. Other than that it's GREAT.

The best thing to do is drop him down the side wall of the stairs, so that a leg just catches the stairs but one misses, then watch him slide down the wall, crumple in a heap, and then laugh at the way his arm is twisted and is shaking
