Torsten Reil: Using biology to make better animation



Uploaded by: TEDtalksDirector
Video Description:
http://www.ted.com Torsten Reil talks about how the study of biology can help make natural-looking animated people -- by building a human from the inside out, with bones, muscles and a nervous system. He spoke at TED in 2003; see his work now in GTA4.

Incidentally, ... ( 2 months ago by randomgurn)
Incidentally, analyzing the human genome wouldn't help - after all, newborn babies can't walk (albeit partly because their legs are too weak) - it is something that you learn to do through trial and error. The human genome determines that the child has two legs etc; it's up to the child to work out the best way to use them!

that and many of their bones are neither fused together or even connected...in their arms, legs, skull...its not simply that their legs are too weak, but rather, they are physically unable to do so.

They should teach two of those figures to fight each other. Bet you'd get some cool martial arts coriography with that.

Yeah, that's a very cool idea. I'd love to see that. :)

they should totally use this for sims 3 or smth. ahah.

Amazing technology! ... ( 2 months ago by morelshaman)
Amazing technology! Funny how the audience reacts to a two-legged animation (no other limbs or head) as though it is a biped (human or otherwise) as long as the biped seems to move "humanly". Really showcases the power of using the evolutionary method in programming. Baby-steps towards the Matrix...
Given any physics ... ( 2 months ago by randomgurn)
Given any physics engine, this method enables you to breed an "actor" which behaves (locally) optimally under the rules of that physics system. This isn't about the physics (as DistinctiveBlend pointed out), it's about the AI.
Agreed. If any ... ( 2 months ago by orhanc1)
Agreed. If any branch of science, the most important would be biology. The physics would be for the slippery ice or other environments.

This technology is such an important step towards the future. If we can really perfect simulation of human motion that can have an improving effect on everything from safety equipment to interactive MMORPGs. Just awesome.

As far as games go ... ( 2 months ago by ickbar11)
As far as games go most developers realistically are going to figure out another method of animating realistically without doing it the computationally expensive way that lags bigtime. An analogy would be ray tracing where it yields the most accurate lighting model but is solely used in pre-rendered animation.

This is the birth of "terminator technology".......I want you to think logically about this, even as a mathmatical equation.... We must limit how far we can go with this. I feel this way because this video is fucking amazing!!!!!! The technology is "theoretically linked" to time travel......Well a variation, but it is still this "real tech"
The trouble with ... ( 2 months ago by rankalot)
The trouble with this technology is that the application is video games will be difficult at best......how would we control the character if the simulation has has a adapting personality?
