Procedural Animations

Finished

Using Python, Pygame, and NumPy, I employed the concept of zero keyframes: instead of using images for texture, I drew and rendered the frames of a moving creature to make it appear alive. The main idea was to create fish-like creatures with fins and wobbly eyes. I then incorporated some of my previous work on Inverse Kinematics to generate the legs. With some smoothing curve techniques, I made the shapes of the creatures smooth and visually appealing. The results are incredible visuals of creatures that move as if they were alive and following you!
