Hi.
Thanks for the info. I was busy seaching graphics and game development sites
for articles on inverse kinematics hoping there was information on CCD. :-)
The best resource i came up with was Chris Welman's PhD thesis on Inverse
Kinematics. It discusses methods for implementing an ik system, but there
isnt any source to go with :-(. It can be downloaded in .ps format from
ftp://fas.sfu.ca/pub/cs/theses/1993/ChrisWelmanMSc.ps.gz
