Day 25 - IK Chains

Hello guys, here is my entry for KineFX IK Chains (For the kingdom!! ) :




Quick breakdown showing the node in action:

The core of this is based on the amazing video by Junichiro Horikawa (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnkXQrEVY2)

I extended their approach by supporting multiple robots, each is from a fracture of a larger shape so each has different numbers of legs. The 'stash' behavior of the skeleton node made it hard to work out how to control them in a for-loop so the robots actually share a single skeleton under the hood and some careful naming to make it all work. I also added a flocking motion for how they move around (then ran time backwards for the assemble effect).
