I have it too. I could maybe temporarily put it on my website.
Future of forward/inverse kinematics?

(EDIT: Link Removed)
I’ll leave it up for a week, though I reserve the right to remove it if my bandwidth gets hammered.

So is it possible to upload it to a site that works?
Would really want to see what all the fuss is all about.

Where were you guys a week ago when I uploaded it? :shrug:
I know at least 4 people downloaded it from me, maybe they can pass it along now.

<—Wants in too.
I’de love to check out any new/different rig styles and hopefully develop some Maya solutions for it.
I have some webspace to host, but I can only do it for short stints so my allotment doesnt get chomped.
…Waits.

Hah, I’m a dumbass. I forgot to actually remove it from my server. May as well leave it up for those who want it:

hi all,
i just download the trial version of Sega|Animanium …
very small and easy to use software for keyframing …
there is no classical FK/IK joints… but only snaping skeletion & draging.
very powerfull but it has lots of “BUT…”
i was working on adding those features to maya using complex mel… and after i reach 70% of what i want … i realize that its waste of time to do it in mel… it should be a plugin for two reasons :
speed & custom minapulaters.
anyway i wish all maya rig people try animanium to shear the experince of this type of character control.

Hi there:
I’ve just downloaded that trial and works fine, but my computer is so slow that can´t make almost anything…, I like it and will try it at work in order to test it in depth.
I would want to save what I do in order to test the “export to MAYA” quality but…, what a pity.

I’m glad I was finally able to try it out myself. I love the simplicity of it, I think if it was a little cheaper it would perfect. I don’t know if I could ever get used to moving/rotating in screen-space only, though.

Firas > dont feel like you’ve wasted your time, lots of people code their stuff first in MEL to test their ideas out and then make a plugin out of it. This keeps them from having to recompile and bother with all that comes with coding a plugin until they know how everything works.
I’m real interested in seeing your implimentation of this. Seeing how theirs was taken from a (Tokyo University) recently finished “autonomous action simulator program for humanoid robot(s)” (algorithms dumbed down of course).
I downloaded it, but the zip file is sitting on my desktop awaiting free time.

WOW… i just got through all 9 pages of this thread. Im glad u started it Jason!!!
VERY INTERESTING STUFF… I hope its not dead.
I really would love to see that Mirai Vid - ambient-whisper or Wigaru Wiyamoto -
and Keith if I would have known you had that Rig set-up when you were at Ringling, oh well
I would still Love to see that as well. Im also working on a Rig in maya trying to set up what I I saw in the sega vid. Pinning any part of the character, this would be a dream come true for Maya users!
Im gonna keep working at this. Hopefully this is still alive!

Its been a year since I read this post, and today I finally got the chance to try out motion builder5…and wow it is something every major company should of woken up to.
If anyone still have a that mirai video from ambient, plz let me know, email me or PM.
It would be great to have this kind of quick character setup(MB5) in a modeling app like maya, because then I could move joints around, reveal areas under armpits/abdomen to model those deformend areas, as seen in that bayraitt video
wouldn’t it be more fun to model that way…
