pyppet2 - breakable ragdoll



Using ODE joint feedback the stress of each joint can be measured, if over the user set threshold Pyppet will break the joint. TODO: add options to weaken/damage joints by reducing their ERP.

This video also shows a Stretch-to generated rig. (not selecting the stretch-to option creates a normal IK based rig)

Joint Damage



This morning I experimented with joint damage, reducing the ERP and raising the CFM on a joint when it is under stress. This can produce some interesting effects like a weakening joint. Another effect is to add a constant pull downwards when a joint is near breaking.
