Procedural animation

[VerumBit]

1st tentative was a total failure!
So I started with a 1st leg 4 bone: I tried to replicate the Unity package (https://assetstore.unity.com/package…/moveen-101452) and was a total failure!
I also abandoned that approach because I saw all his videos and understood that his method can only generate a spider-mech prototype and not really open to any other type of creature (fish, bird, etc) which is what I’m looking for. And is also very complicated, with many parameters and rules which is not good.

**So I’ll start the 2nd tentative I’ll call ‘POSES INTERPOLATION’: **
this next approach will be based on poses. Basically I have my character in idle pose.
No walk/run/jump animations because Procedural Anim does not use any kind of animation.
To make the mannequin walk I’ll make 2 walking poses (move the bones in walking position) then interpolate them.
IK bones will then be the next step.

Just to update my Procedural Animation work: 2nd tentative ‘Poses Interpolation’ was a total failure!
Also 3rd tentative ‘Multiple leg joint’ was a failure due to world<>relative rotations complexity.
I’m at my 4th tentative called ‘Simple 3 bone Lever’ and it seems more stable and simple to manage via bprint+parameters.
