Frozen ragdolls
January 13th, 2011
Before I could make the ragdolls match animations, I had to make them match poses. To test this out, I just made them hold their current pose when I press the 'ragdoll' button.

In Overgrowth, I'm planning to add more variety by using a combination of blended animations, active ragdolls, and passive ragdolls.
