[comp.graphics] Dynamics simulator for animation of linked bodies

van@eecg.toronto.edu (Michiel van de Panne) (10/26/88)

I'm looking for dynamics simulation software for bodies made of open-ended
chains of links. I'm asking for this with regard to building an adaptive
controller for (human or other) figure animation on top of it. Any responses
which spare me from reinventing the wheel, or even a couple of spokes of the
wheel would be greatly appreciated. If I get sufficient response, I'll post
to the net.
