hi all, been dabbling with inverse ik for fun.

cant get it, i believe its something with my transform order in opengl.

there are some resources on the net. the one i've followed.

any help would be excellent.

inverse-kinematics

I don't know a second thing about IK, but it sure is a fun patch to play around with.

What exactly should the red arrow be doing, just follow the gray one?

quick fix: swap sin and cos and it'll work (i.e. x=sin, y=cos)

or... they did dy/dx in the pdf, and you did dx/dy in the patch...

on a side note, I've been meaning to make a GUI widget that turns 

circular mouse movements into rotation information... so here it is 

based in part off of your patch. It's probably not the most 

efficient or correct way to do it, but it works!

thanks Matthew, i had a few problems with my syntax, and of course your fixes were in need.

here is a revised patch. most of this stuff can be subpatched...

yeah, it's really a sexy little bit of Jitter code - yair, I might be 

crazy, but I seem to recall a youtube video of you controlling a jitter 

object with an accelerometer of sorts?!? - it looked like a red kite 

with a long tail, and using this code to build on that would be awesome.

i posted an update but the forum rejected it, mybe the list also.

Andreas, the method i used in the video was getting the position of the tracker and pushing the previous positions down a matrix, then used wes line2quad to opengl it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsPtW59Ozac

i tracked a conductor baton and made a nice simple polygon trail of his motion, it turned out nice.

at the end i didn't use the accelerometer (sensetive) but 2 position-synced unibrain cameras , one with an IR filter and the other without.

the first for tracking the ir led and the other for color video

first, thanks for the kind words guys.

here it is, cuz watching is fun.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvWerivk3UE  -this is a bit rough

here is the footage+patch

and this is a poly~ version for the ik patch.

taking the output of a poly and sending it into the next poly.

used sprintf, thispoly~, and forward - but i would be happy to hear of a better way.

i followed thru with the code, previous was still forward kinematics, reel

it works bbut more work is needed before i can make the number of limbs

its hard to "loop backwards" in max, as is called for this to work.

btw. david, its on my home server, please try again.

ik is this.

great work man, very elegant. imagine what this could do when attached to the end of a certain conductors wand...

nadav, you owe the list a certain patch dont u? ;)
