Moving a Character with 3-Point Tracking (Patreon)

Hello, everyone! This is a casual chat post.I've been tinkering with character control lately, and it reminded me that I'd done something similar before.

It's the one where I moved a character with three-point tracking.Using VR, I tried to wiggle the whole body around with just three points: the head and both hands. I made it about seven years ago.Some of the control parts are similar to what I'm working on now, but this time I was especially focused on making the body respond to the movement and position of the hands. The body twists and the shoulders move to match where the hands are.

I was particular about the shoulders. If you simply raise a shoulder to follow the hand, it looks off. So I made the shoulder lift when the hand goes above the shoulder, and made the shoulders move up and down along with the twist of the body.

I also made the body follow the head tracking, and I was particular about this part too. I wanted it to look like the center of gravity was at the hips, so I made the feet move before the head does.

Well, it's still a bit half-baked, though.

I also tried to see if I could make a walking motion by moving the feet in response to the hand movements.

Looking back at something I made in the past, I sometimes notice things like "I was already particular about this back then," and that's kind of fun. I feel like I could make something better now, though!
