Euphoria VS Ragdoll

Ragdoll is the technology of making the CG animated characters to act like a dummy in the scene. The advantage is for example if you hit a character with a gun like in the game Counter Strike Source, the character you've been hit will fall down or basically a dummy when hit (you know what I'm saying).

Euphoria is more advance than ragdoll physics is more one of kind dummy with brains, you know what that means? It has it's own movements and reacts faster to the enviroment in short AI(Artificial Intelligence) is present.

One big breakthrough for game developers and animators in Animation, because DMS (Dynamic Motion Synthesis) technology is here. And making each character animation comes to realistic movements. No more hustle coding each movements, key-frame animation and motion animation.



Euphoria animation use the CPU to generate "on-the-fly" as the game played. Means that every character animation during gameplay easily response to euphoria in short more realistic movements.

Natural Motion company started this kind of technology and published/used in the games for such console like PlayStation 3, XBOX 360 and PC.

This technology mixed with AI, more realistic body movements and physics. Next generation animation and games make more livier than we thought.

I've got this video from BlenderNation.com better to watch this, it's not mine but the synchonization of the music (drum beat) and animation is nice. It's an experiment for him though for me it's not, it's a one kind animation in blender that is nice and awesome.

Particle Test

Particle Render Test (Experimental), I took a tutorial from Peerless Productions and gave a nice particle animation. The only missing is it does not have any sounds or music, goodluck to me in studying blender.
