didn't the Skeleton go the the dance? He didn't
have any body to go with!
Well he does here! Try out the amazing IK (Inverse
Kinematics) Puppet created in Flash!

IK Puppet version 1.0 is an Experiment in
Inverse and Forward Kinematics.
It
was produced by Andries
Odendaal for vector
lounge, which, by the way, has some similarly
impressive experiments by other developers as
well.

Kinematics is the process of calculating the position
in space of the end of a linked structure, given
the angles of all the joints. It is easy, and
there is only one solution. Inverse Kinematics
does the reverse. Given the end point of the structure,
what angles do the joints need to be in the achieve
that end point. It can be difficult, and there
are usually many or infinitely many solutions.

Kinematics is the science of describing the motion
of objects using words, diagrams, numbers, graphs,
and equations.
