Rag doll physics galore! By Rogper (remember his video ‘Orion Tear‘?)

We don’t get nearly enough good example of what the Blender Game Engine physics features can do with models and rag doll, so here is a pretty awesome example. #b3d Ultimate Stuntman!
Awesome camera work!
Agreed , i was trying to pay attention to what was happening and kept just thinking of how professional the camera’s looked
seconded.
*sigh* can’t see it here in germany due gema conflicts.
Sheesh, that sucks :-(
Hey! Yeah, sorry for that! You can see it on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/33220698
I’ve replaced the video, thanks!
Very bad camera to take the shots! But, dynamics OK. BTW, we already know the BGE capabilities in our day by day.
This makes an excellent instructional safety video for construction workers and warehouse operatives everywhere :-) Just need to add a list of injuries caused by each fall!
This was actually very fun to watch. The BGE is amazing, and you’ve shown that very well. I particularly liked the two ragdolls throwing themselves at each other; very entertaining :P
It reminds me of Flatout 2, if anyone’s ever played that.
Exactly what I was thinking. Great game by the way.
And now we combine this with the camera tracker….
What injuries!? XD He never gets hurt… too serious at least :P
Thanks for the comments and for the featuring here!
A couple of rag dolls were injured during the production of this video.
Great stuff!
What were the boats doing so high up!! An accident was bound to happen.
Awesome
@1:53 the ragdoll gets sea-sick and throws up over the side of the boat XP
Nice job! I like :D
Err, that didn’t post right. It’s at 1:53 >.<
Thanks everyone!
One thing I’ve noted is that, despite some sea-sickness, boats are actually very safe even when blown up to the skies :P
A couple of rag dolls and a seagull (the cameraman)… but we had to edit that out XD
This is all going to end in tears. I just know it…
Somebody call 911!!! Good stuff, it’s still great seeing some of the older features of Blender when done as nicely as this.
This was some awesome stuff.
Very cool video. The overall environment looked very well detailed and the collisions setups must have been very meticulous because they very tight, all the poles and even the boards inside the boat and all, well done. Nice dramatic music too. Do more of these please!
PS – Ragdolls actually love to be mangled like this- they consider it a form of affection and feel very lonely when no one takes time to abuse them ;)
Hey, thanks for the nice comments!
This one probably will be the last one :P because I don’t see how to top it and is the max my current hardware can handle.
Ho! Here we call the 112 XD
camera animation tutorial :) please
Is there an easy way to apply ragdoll to a blender Armature?
And when will we see something like Endorphin/Euphoria aplied to Blender Armatures? :D

:) Camera animation is all about being true to one self…
There is no easy way to apply armatures to rag dolls, at the moment, but it can be done. Endorphin besides armatures uses some kind of artificial intelligence.
Do you remember Lugaru/Overgrowth? There they did something much simpler than euphoria, to prevent the ragdoll to look so dead, and it really worked pretty well =)
