#UnrealEngine5.6 has a "Locomotor" plugin which provides a new... #ControlRig node for procedural locomotion. It takes a target position as input, and outputs an array of feet transforms which animate over time to step towards the goal location. Pelvis motion is also generated. 🧵1/4show more

Sean Elliot thinks Butler got away with an extra... step. Let's examine the play. Remember: the foot on the floor when a progressing player catches a pass is the gather step and doesn't count towards the legal two steps from that point-which is all Butler does. It makes no difference that both feet were off the floor in between step 1 and step 2. It's still just a step in the rulebook. Legal, as the naked eye can't discern any gap between control of ball and gather step downshow more

This is a stilling basin (also known as an... energy dissipator. Located at the base of a dam, it takes the fast-moving water and forces it into intense turbulence which dissipates most of the water's kinetic energy. This prevents dangerous erosion and scouring of the riverbed.show more

The Pelvic Whip👇 A Big League pitcher’s pelvis can... rotates faster that 900 Degrees per second To maximize that speed with proper timing, many of our athletes and coaches like the feeling of keeping the pelvis closed THEN Exploding! BUT, if the front side groin is tight, the lead leg will just drag the pelvis open which is a much slower version of pelvic rotation To get around this, some guys land in a valgus position (Knee Caved in) on the front leg since you don’t need full Adductor Range of Motion to do this. And Some step across body which can also work around this. This Test / Exercise To see how your groin affects your pelvis, hold your knee out while performing this exercise. You will know immediately if this affects you or not! 👊show more

The Falkirk player pushes Maeda on to the goal-... line which stops the ball going over the line. Any idea why this is given as an offside and not a penalty, especially as they have to look over the entire incident as it’s one phase of play?show more

🇨🇳 Another great Chinese Model, OmniHuman-1.5 from ByteDance Turns... 1 image plus a voice track into expressive avatar video by pairing a System 1 and System 2 inspired planner with a Diffusion Transformer, Produces coherent motion for over 1 minute with moving camera and multi character scenes. Most avatar models move to the beat of the audio but miss meaning, so gestures feel generic and emotions feel shallow. The fix here is a Multimodal LLM planner that listens to the speech and drafts a structured plan describing intent, emotions, beats, and high level actions, which gives the motion engine clear semantic targets instead of only rhythm. The motion engine is a Multimodal Diffusion Transformer that fuses the plan with audio, the single reference image, and optional text prompts, then synthesizes continuous body, face, and head motion that matches both words and tone. A key trick is a Pseudo Last Frame, a synthetic target that summarizes the next expected state, which stabilizes fusion across modalities and keeps motion consistent over long spans. From just 1 image and speech, the system outputs speaking avatars with synchronized lips, context aware gestures, and continuous camera movement, and it also supports multi character interactions without manual choreography. Reported results show strong lip sync accuracy, high video quality, natural motion, and close match to text prompts, and the same setup works on nonhuman characters too.show more
