[Bf-committers] Fwd: New project: "Kinematics"...

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi everyone,

Below a reaction from the Leuven university. I hope they can help us  
solving the current problems with the armature system, and later on use  
their math knowledge in moving it up another level, especially for good  
integration of kinematics editing (tradional animation) with IK and  
dynamics.

I prefer to invite them over to join this list at first... when added  
traffic here grows out of control a dedicated mailinglist can always  
been used. Or a dedicated project on the site...

Herman: here is where you and your team can subscribe:
http://www.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers/

I realize things shouldn't shatter too much, with too many mailinglist  
on all kinds of topics... nevertheless, it's not bad to communicate  
here on actual development in Blender itself (and/or integration with  
Orocos). This especially because we have several issues in Blender to  
solve first, before even *thinking* of adopting a new library for IK  
and dynamics.

Thanks!

-Ton-
