Lost in the triangles moved! find it here: aras-p.info/blog

I've done some very basic walk/run animation blending. The results are pretty neat!

We have several walk animation cycles, each for different walk/run speed. Now I can smoothly move the character at any speed, and the right animations are selected, synchronized, mixed; and the walk is mixed in/out of another animations.

As a basis I've taken Tom Forsyth's talk from GameTech2004 and Charles Bloom's rambles (dated 3-13-03). Of course, our case is somewhat simpler (e.g. we don't have manpower to author all turn left/right, accelerate/decelerate, etc. anims).

Try it yourself - it's good! :)

BTW, I was thinking about putting our full engine/tools/whatever somewhere, in case anyone is interested or maybe would find it useful. Well, I know, the naked sourcecode is not useful at all in the real world, but still :)
