DANCE 012209

DANCE 012209 provides a powerful tool for all users. One of its goals is to provide researchers with a common platform where they can test their control methods and share their results. In addition, it provides the common, yet complex functionality that everyone needs in a physics-based animation system, allowing researchers to concentrate on their research work. DANCE has been used for a variety of physics-based applications that include biomechanics modelling and composeable controllers.

Characters may be animated through the following means: Keyframe animation, Motion capture animation, Physical simulation without control (ragdoll), Physical simulation with pose-based control, Physical simulation with controllers written via Python scripts, Combination of physical simulation and animation.
