I've never understood the point of giant, jumbling meat balloons in video games. I've never found it attractive, just weird. Like, it draws too much attention to itself and doesn't look realistic.

Video game butts deserve more love and those things actually jiggle. Male and female butt jiggles for all.

that's just you tho..

also capcom led the way in #HOMETOWN but...alas tis capcom

EDIT:

i skimmed most of the article, but did Patricia point to any positive or well-made breast physics in games? or was it all "most breast physics are bad due to technical or creative issues. do better"

HDT for Skyrim

Gwynevere from Dark Souls has the best breast physics.

Nope, that's not even close.

Whelp.

Thank you for this. It was very informative.

Oh geez the Skyrim gif...

I like me a good breast

Well animated bodies are definitely something I want to see improve this generation. After that, can we please tackle games with armor and make it so armor actually sits on the body and doesn't bend and stretch like it's made out of meat? That'd be great.

I would like that as well but I don't think that's a realistic expectation.

Even regular shirts in FIFA are still glued to the body and deform with it. I would assume just a single layer of cloth that uses regular old cloth physics is easier to do than static armor that is made of many materials all with different physical properties.
Not that FIFA is supposed to be the innovator, but my expectation are that until the former technique is common place you won't see more advanced things in other titles.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

If modders applied themselves, I figure Skyrim HDT could lead to the creation of whips, flails, and so on. It'd use the physics to create some convincing effects and mix things up beyond one-handed or two-handed combat.

But uh...yep.

 

[copelandmaster]

Of course a couple of bones in a "spring" config would look bad.

We need a higher poly count and a proper full body skin deformation system for results that don't look terrible.

Yep, learning here and all. I read the articles.

Considering its a mixture of like 4 mods not made by the same person the end result is pretty good

"Wait, so why do you need to see me swing my breasts around?"

"I swear, I really am a video game animator!"

Kotaku really are master baiters

 

[Savitar]

Hey it's good for men's health.

or so I heard.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

I don't understand people's obsession with realistic looking breasts and realistic breast physics in a video game when that element of the games they tend to be a part of are not meant to be realistic, but to be arousing.

 

[Riposte]

Sometimes "wrong" is okay too.

Kotaku really needs to stop letting teenage boys write their articles.

Shameful honestly, it's like the industry is committed to a frat-boy image
At least there is hope in the indie scene

God bless Japan.

More like God punish Japan for going over the line honestly...

 

[Jagsrock]

Hmmm I think I'll need to research this futher....

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Actually, it was pretty interesting as an article. Bouncing boobs is something that indeed, people notice in games, for good or bad.

Done correctly, it adds a layer of realism. Don't absurdly, it can be rather distracting. A good animator has to find that balance.

Same with say, hair physics, or cloth physics.

 

[No_Style]

Haha! Sure! Kotaku posts an article about breasts and gets 2 pages on GAF but this quality article examining how Madden ratings (and by extension sports games in general) are determined gets nothing.

And people wonder why gaming journalism sucks.

Nice article btw!

This article is really good though. It's an in-depth look at how character animation works.

Well... Alright then...

 

[Jarlaxle]

Love how they pretend there's no examples for animators to see to model them realistically. It would take all of 10 seconds to view thousands of results.

 

[Mr. Giggles]

Thanks OP, Great article, very educational.

*puts pants on, lights cigarette*

Came to see if that creepy Ryse gif was posted.

Left kind of relieved.

I hope the aim wasn't to look realistic.

oh won't someone think of the enlightened superior gamers who only like "tasteful" imagery.

cause once you leave teenage years, you stop liking cleavage or sexually arousing imagery.

they should only hire "mature" developers who make "mature" imagery. So people wouldn't have to resort to lowly indie games to get their fix of drab imagery.

 

[Otakumegane]

Either we get breasts immobile like a Republican agenda or move like Lemur in Madagascar.

 

[SixMachine]

You know reading that article and other places mentioning Jill's jiggle physics in REmake being added make me sad. It was actually already there on the gamecube version. It bums me out because this many people not knowing about implies that not enough of these people played/bought the game the first time and attributing to it's initial poor sales. It is blatantly obvious with the chest high camera angles .

Also ass physics that would make Prison School proud. I remember I actually first saw ass physics in the first Soul Calibur. But dat Zero Suit costume in Fatal Frame 4. The person made a whole bunch of vids on this, so enjoy or point and laugh.

Those boobs have a separate mind of their own >.>

 

[Meffer]

The obvious solution is for the animators to study breasts and how the move. They have the tools to help them animate them but anatomy is always the basic answer.
