kinematics

That aside, a jury is also not expected to be an expert in advanced kinematics when they hear a case involving cars that crashed into each other at an intersection.

If you use inverse kinematics, the computational load grows exponentially with the number of DoF.

For example, Galileo's work on kinematics required a break through in attitude: that the discussion of quantitative phenomena required measurement and calculation.

Getting geometry and kinematics right is not so important for the game.

Using kinematics is pretty much out of the window with these systems.

Interesting - what is the advantage in not using inverse kinematics?

The best ones used treads as that would allow for differential steering which was much easier on the inverse kinematics than the front wheel steering.

That being said, I don't think this contradicts anything I mentioned in my post -- gravitational lensing doesn't affect galactic kinematics.

Development of low cost RTK (real time kinematics), giving centimeter precision in some cases, has really been driven on a large scale by the Japanese.

I imagine the inverse kinematics of that structure are a nightmare but you probably don't have to worry too much about positional feedback.

There are all sorts of nice equivalences of the form Values[f[assoc]] === f[Values[assoc]] that give an association a well-defined 'kinematics' -- they are like ordinary numerically-indexed expressions (e.g.

Every week we'd have to make something which related to that week's topic (diffuse/specular shading, geometry manipulation, inverse kinematics, z-buffers, etc).

The "surprise" that is attributed to the discovery of dark matter involves estimates of the mass of a galaxy due to contributions from stars, gas, etc., that fall woefully short of mass estimates obtained from observations of galaxy rotation velocities (kinematics).

Since then, sadly, most Western AAA devs have tended overwhelmingly towards more "realistic" art styles that make heavy use of inverse kinematics-driven procedural animation for gameplay, and motion capture for cutscenes, leaving the animators much less room for expression.

"It also doesn't sound like you've put any thought into the challenge of simulating realistic swordplay as a generic engine that supports different historically accurate fighting styles, with all the nitty physics, kinematics, and for that matter historical issues to be dealt with." You are controlling the sword so I'm not really sure what you mean.

Kinematics, on the other hand, has been completely dropped from the curriculum!
