BIK: Full Body IK Solver

Thanks ! Glad you like it :slight_smile:

Here’s a quick update to the quadruped support I have been working on.

Best,

Very nice!

One point. Shouldn’t the hips rotate to accommodate elevation/declension of the shoulders? Doesn’t seem that a deer’s spine should be capable of that sort of movement.

Good eye. Hip rotation is on the roadmap for a near future version of the plugin.

Would that also apply to humanoid pelvis too? Because they would need this aswell :slight_smile:

Yes it should but we will have to see how things work out and what kind of feedback I receive for the bipeds once 0.7 is released.

Nice :slight_smile: Please share setup with plugin (looks like it is model from Kite Demo).

I definitely want to share the setup, however I will need to spin out my own quadruped model first. I don’t have the rights to redistribute this model from the kite demo unfortunately unless I just provide the BP and ask the end user to attach the model themselves, but that seems painful :slight_smile:

I would love a scifi quadraped that resembled the biped you have XD

I will see what I can come up with, no promises though :slight_smile: It might help to push out the release a bit faster if I just make a simple low poly character to begin with, but sci-fi quadruped sounds like a great idea too.

A low poly quadraped works too, the scifi one is not necessary considering that the functionality of the system is what people are really investing in anyway :slight_smile:

Hi .I love it.How to get the plug?

How do I build for 4.15? Can I use v0.7.0 and build UE4 from source?

Hi RayRayJnr,

I have now sent a 4.15 download link for 0.7.0 to all existing customers. You can reply to my email if you have any issues with the build.

Many thanks.

For all those who might be wondering what were we upto for GDC, here’s a trailer of “From Other Suns” a game by GunFire Games, an Oculus Studio. They use the VR IK solver from our BIK plugin.

Congrats, glad to see it’s a multiplayer game to boot which means replication support. Though after watching the trailer I was surprised to see floating hands in first person instead of a full body implementation.

Very nice.

Another feature currently being worked on for the 0.7 release is full transform control of the head effector. You can control the weight of how much the shoulder and the pelvis move through the head effector.
This really demonstrates the behaviors you can get when using a Full Body IK Solver.

Best,

I haven’t received any updates.

Can you email me at so that I can make sure that you are in the update list ? I apologize if you were inadvertently missed.

Hi all,

A VR controller which works out of the box is being developed for release in 0.7.1
