This is one of the best references on this topic I've seen - run cycles and foot locking are annoyingly lacking in documentation outside a few papers.

Wow, after a lot of code, the animations at the bottom of the article are really mind-blowing. Super well done.

Such beautiful animations. Too much detail is missing from this post and its related post on "two-joint inverse kinematics" (that is actually three joint inverse kinematics) - what are the joint types? which inverse kinematics problem is being solved (position, orientation, or both?). This could be a great post if the author spends some more time polishing it.

Auto tagging the foot contact points is kinda fun. I usually just see it hand marked in the source anim.

I'm currently spending all my hobby project tokens getting astro to help with this problem... but with skis on. Mind blowingly abysmal results so far! Thanks for showing your work.

I always wanted to know how physics and kinematics came together and could be worked on with code. Your blog post was enlightening. Thanks.

I was recently wondering why foot sliding is still a common problem in fighting games. Surely with Inverse Kinematics it should be possible to fix this problem by now. I have the suspicion that people who are accustomed to fighting games are so used to it that they don't notice it anymore, or view it as correct behavior.

Is it really a problem? Game mechanics and physics are not always meant or desired to be realistic.

I imagine, that unsolved foot sliding is considered as a genuine part of the genre, but personally I really enjoy fixed feet in gameplay very much.

It's a graphical problem. Inverse kinematics is purely a graphical technique. It has no effect on gameplay. That doesn't mean it's irrelevant, except insofar graphical fidelity is irrelevant in general.

That was really comprehensive. Good read.

I really want to read this article but the videos keep hijacking the screen (on mobile web)
FYI in case the author sees this

Are you using Firefox on ios? It’s a long-running bug with that browser that affects most pages with multiple videos and drives me mad.
