OptAnim

OptAnim thumbnail

OptAnim ("Optimal Animation") is a Python library for the procedural generation of 3D skeletal character animations. It uses the principles of Optimal Control, coupled with a simple but powerful parameter-space system to ease the generation of large quantities of physically-accurate animations. I developed it as part of my MSc. thesis research at SIAT, and it's now available as open-source software on GitHub.
