Skydiving ?

Hi everybody,

i have watched this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YXBFa57ux9w&list=UUxGX-B-zNI8jHAUlZV0JVXw&index=21

Develop with Unity3d, the questions are:
-What are the green, red, white, blue Lines that i watch in the video?
-There are constant forces that Act?
-How do they move the parts of the body and return to their initial state?

Thanks.

this video is great!

That whole thing is done with a ragdoll. The lines probably represent the direction of travel for each part.

In doing this, they probably went through each body part and added “drag” force on objects that were not pointing in the same direction as the fall. This would force outer extremities to look just like that.

The direction could then be controlled by the mouse or keys to get some form of movement. More than likely they are simply using the pitch of the mouse and the direction from the A and D keys on the keyboard to get rotation.

To do this, you would need to know rigidbodies and how to apply forces at different points. You would need a real good working knowledge of the CharacterJoint system (Unity - Scripting API: CharacterJoint) and input controls.
