Ragdoll Ralph (Physx)

Panda Features in Development
1

Here is my current progress on physx ragdoll.

demo: http://www.mediafire.com/?6bzrax7xs1op1pm

Features:

  • Describe ragdoll limbs and joints
  • Ragdoll debug mode
  • Ragdoll anim blending (experimental…)

Note:
There are 3 steps in the demo.
Currently, it’s pretty long to describe the ragdoll, but I can’t find a way to generate it automatically because of the actor joint hierarchy.

I’m extremely interested in your project but I’m having trouble getting the Demo to run. Which version of Panda and physX are you using?

I get the following error when I try to run the demo with Panda 1.9/1.7 and physX 2.8:

 lib = cls.imp.load_dynamic(name, target)
ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found

It throws this when attempting to import physx so this may be a problem with the Panda version itself as I seem to recall a similar bug a couple of years ago.
