There is at least one rag-doll demo in Blitz3D - you'll need 'Tokamak', then search through the 'Tokamak' theads (1-5) it was a demo with a troll/orc type character:

Thanks Puki.

I was after something done in Blitz rather then use tokamak.

I had a demo done in Blitz but cant remember who did it.

I remember it been called Drunk and you controlled a skunk character which had rag doll physics.

I also need some tutorials on understanding the concept of rag doll / rigid body / cloth etc..

PS:The orc demo is mint :)

I've never heard of the 'Drunk' demo with a 'skunk' character, but somebody else might remember it.

Ive found a good artical on this site if any body is interested.

I remember the drunk skunk demo.. It used the a modification of the verlet physics code in the code archives.

Actually, I've still got a copy of it, source and all... Send me an email Destroyer, and I'll email you the package (I don't see your email on your profile).

Thanks NTense and sorry for the late reply.

I found it on 1 of my back up disc's. I was up late last night going through them :)

Goto Gamesutra and do a search on 'hitman phyiscs'. There's a great tutorial by the guy who did all the phyiscs for the hitman series.

It was the only such tutorial I found easy enough to actually implement in blitz..the rest were just..'wtf..'

Hi The Dude

I think its the same one in the link i posted above.


Thanks
