APEX Clothing Heroblade GDC 2009

Clothing integration into HeroEngine, an MMOG game engine. The cape and the skirt are physically simulated and interact properly with the environment. The character can move from one frame to the other from left to right, which in general adds a lot of energy to the system but is properly dealt with. This is a big difference e.g. compared to nice and smooth animations used in "tech demos" which are not realistic in current games. The APEX Clothing integration just took 6 man weeks, mainly due to the module design of the APEX framework.

The Old Republic is using this engine. I hope my dedicated PhysX card will be of some use =)

Cabal Online had some pretty good cape animations for its time for an MMORPG. Haven't seen anything like it until this render demo. In fact, I just looked at a video again and it even has good cloth animations, though not as good as the capes.

I wish MMO devs had put more time into creating awesome capes.

Capes and Scythes, things I love that have been missing from games.

this technology will be used in EVE Online when the "Ambulation" expansion hits. I can't wait :D

i think it's simutronics mmorpg named Hero's Journey that hasn't been released. The hero engine was made to develop it.
