Overview: | 'Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order' uses physical simulation blended with authored animations to create high-fidelity character motion. In this presentation, we will describe how our physical animation system improves motion fluidity, smooths out transitions and provides a nuanced character performance. Examples shown will include hero traversal mechanics, stormtrooper death performances, and the companion droid BD-1. We will describe several solutions for blending physics with target animations, discuss the control parameters and tradeoffs associated with each technique, and show implementations achieved using Unreal Engine 4 and PhysX. |
