Wonder if they're going to be using a cut-down version of that in the up-comming Indiana Jones game for the 360

That looks VERY processor intensive. I'm sure it was done on a beast of a computer.

In any event, it did look good. They over-exaggerated on the standard physics approach to breaking something, it did look like junk when they broke the board, but it's silly to use only two fragments. I use a nice collection of splinters and board fragments and it looks much better.

I bet that it will cost big bucks to use though. Ageia PhysX is a Godsend for indie developers like us.


Come see the WIP!

The character stuff is Euphoria, the splintering is DMM.

I've heard of this, its a real-time version of the endorphin AI, looks very nice indeed, i recommend playing about with endorphin if you get the chance.
There should be still a demo on the website

Wow, that looks amazing. While right now it may take a beast computer, in a few years it will most likely be easily optimized for a standard, even low-level, PC.

I thought a lot of the physics look, for lack of a better word, hard-coded. It seems that they predefine points which are breakable or what not, and there's also a few times when collisions seem to be ignored or missed.

Are you crazy that does not look hardcoded have you seen how many different places they hit it from and it reacted differently each time.

Looks like some really impressive procedural animation there, but at the same time, the actual motions don't always look human, especially as Mr Jones falls over the side of the rope bridge and clings on. (Any normal person would dislocate their arm falling like that and trying to hold on - then again a human wouldn't have managed to grab hold like that in the first place.) When he struggles to stand up - that also looks wierd. Too much like a dodgy ragdoll flopping about.

I rewatched that, this time with sound, and now I realise that the first thing they showed was how it shouldn't be done, so my hardcoded argument is null and void.

I absolutely LOVE this stuff. I would really like to attempt a procedural animation system for my characters. That would be one cool project to work on.
