There is at least one rag-doll demo in Blitz3D - you'll need 'Tokamak', then search through the 'Tokamak' theads (1-5) it was a demo with a troll/orc type character:

Thanks Puki.

I was after something done in Blitz rather then use tokamak.

I had a demo done in Blitz but cant remember who did it.

I remember it been called Drunk and you controlled a skunk character which had rag doll physics.

I also need some tutorials on understanding the concept of rag doll / rigid body / cloth etc..

PS:The orc demo is mint :)
Thanks

I've never heard of the 'Drunk' demo with a 'skunk' character, but somebody else might remember it.

I remember the drunk skunk demo.. It used the a modification of the verlet physics code in the code archives.

Actually, I've still got a copy of it, source and all... Send me an email Destroyer, and I'll email you the package (I don't see your email on your profile).

Goto Gamesutra and do a search on 'hitman phyiscs'. There's a great tutorial by the guy who did all the phyiscs for the hitman series.

It was the only such tutorial I found easy enough to actually implement in blitz..the rest were just..'wtf..'
