Manually manipulating animation in D3D?
Author
I have a question. I'm making a chess game where a human model moves his hand over a piece, picks it up and places it on it's destination square.
Now if i wanted to create an animation of every moving possibility that would be 2016 animations. Which is both stupid and insane
I was thinking that maybe i should create a single animation of a model picking and placing a piece, and then just multiply bone's/joint's combined matrix with a translation matrix, placing the hand wherever i please.
Is this the way it's done? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks!
I'd probably create an animation of a hand picking up and putting down a piece then use Inverse Kinematics to dynamically control the joints from the wrist to the shoulder to animate the arm.
Depends on whether the model is like a disembodied hand or like an arm reaching over to move it. If it's the former then IK might be a bit overkill.

it's a full human model.
Inverse kinematics sounds exactly like what i need. It's a bit complicated though. Time for some math then!
