Animating Kinematic Chains for Realistic Muscle Flexion

Check out Doctor Soupy's old-school action figures that were all built from scratch. It is nearly the 10th anniversery of Armor Up with Tape Creature! Don't foget to see the cool animations. The creatures have awesome attacks.

True joints are necessary for the next model's prototype. This is for a computer game counterpart. The Code10 story involves a multi-planet battle raging in the future with between agent bodies, which are operated by "players".

Medical simulation in action figures the only hurdle to creating a physically experienced computer game. It may take several years for the biomimetic, physical model to be a computer generated character. Motion capture and biometric equations for all body types will need to be integrated. The equations for biomimetic flexing muscles will generate new technology for how to model wire frame skeletons, and will create new ways with how to attach inverse kinematics onto skeletons. New formations of IK handles and sequential kinematic chain deformations are all possible with the Creature Convention. Operating an aircraft or surgical intrament by a remote only touches the surface. Controling an actual mimic-body any through a CGI interface any number of miles away presents a challenge for any proffessional gamer.

Photorealistic anatomy must be attained. Animatronic robots, full length movies and fps computer games depend on it. The entertainment industry keeps developing new technology. Hollywood and the big studios in the silicon valley make money by developing new software and technology. Ideas, however, come from individuals all over the globe. Motion capture devices and military target aquisition systems, first pioneered in part, by drSoupy's friend's pops, came from Vermont(See Funkwagon page for more info).

Direct modeling of a person must always take into account biometric data, the width of the shoulders, the distance from the shoulder to the elbow, the distance from the elbow to the hand, etc... The methods in which to proportion figures can be used from forensic data and motion capture sequences. How to make muscles flex, current robotic technology, and integration of scripts are located througout this website. Check out Biomechanical Human Arm for descriptions of joints in the body, and how they articulate.
