Now this looks like a fairly AGI-friendly approach to controlling
animated characters ... unfortunately it's closed-source and
proprietary though...

So what are the principles that enable animated characters and materials
here to react/move in individual continually different ways, where previous
characters reacted typically and consistently?

..or is it just that these figures respond differently to the slightest
difference in angle and force of impact?

IMHO, Euphoria shows that pure GA approaches are lame.

Actually, it seems their technique is tailor-made for imitative learning
If you gathered data about how people move in a certain context, using
motion capture, then you could use their GA/NN stuff to induce a
program that would generate data similar to the motion-captured data.
This would then
If I was paid to get a good animation, I would cheat: I would use
-- mixed forward/inverse dynamics instead of pure (forward) simulation,
-- motion capture data mining,
-- hand-crafted parameterized models instead of generic NNs

The link from Lukas seems to suggest that applying this technology is
something of an art (is that right?):
As a side note, the fickle nature of the evolutionary approach is the
primary reason why euphoria isn't middleware; the team at NaturalMotion
helps you integrate it. Most often, you
