  • Methods and systems for physically-based runtime effects
    Patent number: 9652201
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment involves receiving input defining an inverse kinematics hierarchy for an object to be displayed in an application under development. The exemplary embodiment further involves receiving input indicating a physical parameter applicable to the inverse kinematics hierarchy. The exemplary embodiment further involves producing a package defining the application under development. The package comprises a description of the physical parameter and code that, when executed or interpreted, provides a physics engine configured to calculate a physical response of at least a portion of the inverse kinematics hierarchy using the description of the physical parameter.
    Type: Grant
