Character Animation Tool – Fabric Engine
Character Animation Tool from Fabric Engine on Vimeo.
Check out the Character Animation Tool by Fabric Engine going over advance dynamic character rigging to simulate proper muscle behavior and collision. Pretty interesting stuff 🙂
Fabric Engine enables developers to overcome the performance constraints of scripted languages like JavaScript and Ruby without needing to resort to compiled languages like C++. It does this by extending these languages so that they can be used to create multi-threaded, compiled code that can be run on the web server or in the browser.
