Giving Personality to Procedural Animations using Math

3.1M views · 4 years ago · explainer · intermediate · evergreen

A video by t3ssel8r on giving procedural animation personality with a simple mathematical system that has adjustable parameters. Tuning it produces motion with springy overshoot and anticipation instead of stiff movement, shown with game-style examples.

HN people point to the creator as the example of procedural animation done with fantastic results, and many submitted the video itself.

“This guy uses the technique a lot with fantastic results”
