Thanks Jorrit, I've taken a look at the source code. I see the plgmeshanim project (I'm using VC8). I'm asuming that's what you mean. Although I wonder whether plgmeshskelanim2 would be more appropriate. This actually links an animated skeleton to the mesh, and it would be easier to do IK on a skeleton (instead of just a mesh).
I guess my idea would be along this line: - The calling function would set various constraints, which is basically the desired ending location of various points of the body. - The calling function will also set which body parts / bones are allowed to move, and which bones must remain in the same spot/same rotation - I propose using the CCD method for IK. This method is pretty quick, and would allow for quick/real time calculation of IK - The result of the function would be a series of steps (perhaps a script that meshanim can run). - The CCD method would be created as a standard function. Perhaps in the future other IK methods can be added, and therefore calling functions would be able to choose the IK calculator that they want. Let me know if this sounds like something that CS will need btw. I'm sorry I'm writing this here. I actually looked for the crystal-develop list. However all I can find is the crystal-main list. Is there a separate development list or is it in one? can anyone give me a link to subscribe to the develop list?
