The Big Secret Behind RDR2 Realistic Animations

[@thebulletkin8393]

Rockstar’s animation system has always amazed me

[@skeletonking4119]

As they used to!

[@zeflox444]

Euphoria is made by natural motion for your informations rockstar has always amazed me but if you mean euphoria yeah that is natural motion not rockstar

[@TonYStarKGaminG]

@@zeflox444 FYI. Euphoria is no more. Now all that left is Rockstar

[@zeflox444]

@@TonYStarKGaminG the creatores of euphoria are natural motion the only compnies that have acces to euphoria are rockstar and natural motion and disney no more the guy who wrote this comment probably thinks rockstar made euphoria and fyi euphoria is still a thing and don't try to say "fyi euphoria isn't a thing no more" you can't find it online cuz it is only for the compnies i told you about you will not find any information you will if you searched really deep but it will still be just a page explaining euphoria or something

[@TonYStarKGaminG]

@@zeflox444 n 2017, NaturalMotion announced it would end licensing of Euphoria, along with its other technologies, to concentrate on mobile games. This is what i meant

[@DenKulesteSomFins]

The fact that there were 8 years between RDR and RDR2, and RDR2 is 5 years old baffles me. There have been comparatively tiny progress in graphics since 2014-2018

[@tSunrise_]

All this while being pretty well optimized.

[@donowa5637]

i don't think there's little change between now and 5 years ago, i think that the graphics just haven't aged enough for the change to be obvious like, i remember thinking hl2 looked kickass back in 2019, when it was 15 years old, but now that it's 19 years old i'm starting to notice some of the flaws (like the unmoving reflections or the flat cutout textured guard rails in highway 17)

[@tSunrise_]

@@donowa5637 Resolution also plays a role. I remember HL2 as being photorealistic back when it came out however back then I played it on a CRT at 1024x768 or something. It helped hide some of the rough bits and made the game visually "flawless". Now at 4k, shit looks crisper and better than real life. lol. You can really appreciate the visuals but it's also much easier to criticize.

[@Terandium]

for the average gamer the differences might be small, but a lot of processes are being optimized and require less work. something that needed 100 people 5 years ago, currently can be done by an indie game dev for virtually free.

[@Chronomatrix]

RDR2 is still today the most technically advanced videogame ever made, it's truly incredible, a masterpiece.

[@Cushingura]

Thats what happens when companies take their time to finish a game. Rocksar has not many games, but it is by far the best dev studio.

I wish the Euphoria engine is licensed to and used by more game studios, not just (almost exclusively) by Rockstar. It's such a fantastic and still unrivaled ragdoll system.

[@videoedits3584]

this alone makes me want to buy the game and try it out for the first time

[@jesse2535]

One thing no game has ever been able to recreate in a true to life way is human movement interaction with surface water.

[@Ben_19M]

rockstar didnt make euphoria, they licensed it

[@namgunaucao9771]

yeah we know it. but i dont know why most games outthere not use this physics, so cool and feel much better than boring animations. look at ubishit games,cp2077, the fucker 3, cod,mafia..... ragdoll physics suck!!!! i cant enjoy this dog shit. dying light, rage, fear,l4d1,2......use animations and ragdoll but still look awesome. euphoria and ragdoll is amazing me.

[@ItsWarFilms]

It was mentioned in the video that Natural Motion developed it. ALLTHOUGH Rockstar did not license it. That´s not how Euphoria worked. Euphoria never has been "a physics engine" or any engine at all. Rockstar hired Natural Motion to come to their studio and impliment their motion synthesis technique into their existing RAGE engine. There is no engine to license... It´s a one time job and Natural Motion got paid to do that job. The copy Rockstar has been using ever since GTA 4 is pretty much theirs and Natural Motion seemingly discontinued Euphoria together with their animation programm "Endorphine". There has been no active support or development from their side even years before GTA 5 released. Throuh a series of companies being bought up, Natural Motion is now owned by T2. The same company that own Rockstar Games. At this point they are the only ones actively using and developing Euphoria and they pretty much own the company that made it in the first place... So at this point it´s irrelevant if they originaly made it or not, It´s theirs.

[@10yearslater_]

In one of those videos showcasing cool gunfights in RDR2, someone shot an NPC, that NPC dropped the rifle and it shot at himself because it was loaded. That was peak imo. Great game!

[@duccsoft7015]

The script is low on information about how Euphoria actually works, and is more like an advertisement of what it can do. This video could have been made by someone with no technical knowledge. I'm very disappointed.

[@loremipsum3147]

"This video could have been made by someone with no technical knowledge." It is indeed.

[@Enkeria]

Sounds expensive, if that system is even for sale for indie devs.

[@dreamisover9813]

fascinating system. It's like "active ragdolls" but more advanced

[@The_Toonimator]

Very informative. Thanks. I also applaud the cowboy narrator in the intro. Or was that a.i.?😂

[@ImANaidemoc]

Flat out introduced me to ragdoll physics in games

[@Reskareth]

But does anyone know how to actually get euphoria for a game that's in development?

[@morbid1.]

you can't... it's owned by rockstar

[@Dmitry2184]

Well one has to hire a group of highly paid specialists from natural motion so they can implement euphoria into your game. That’s why you don’t see Euphoria in many games. Because integrating it costs a lot. Euphoria IS NOT owned by rockstar. They simply hire people to implement it in their games

[@Dmitry2184]

There’s more elaborate video about Euphoria technology in r* games. Use eng subtitles kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGfMnaCXfpKHjZI

[@Reskareth]

@@Dmitry2184 Ah ok! Do you have an estimate on how much it would cost?

[@niks660097]

@@morbid1. Euphoria is a middleware and not owned by rockstar, some non-rockstar games like "Backbreaker" and even ios games also have euphoria integration, reason you don't see it often is the cost and TIME to integrate..

I remember when they were adding it to Indiana Jones and the staff of kings. It was this huge thing, which I don't know if they ended up adding it to the wii game.

[@jnee]

So did Rockstar completely skip euphoria when they made GTA V? It featured heavily in IV and I hope it's used again in 6

[@namgunaucao9771]

gta v has euphoria but yeah Downgrade. but gta v is well optimized and ragdoll physics still kickass ubisoft, cp2077, tw3, cod, mafia games...

OMG I am first

[@nynx8269]

First i think

[@MonsterCreations662]

In Unity Engine It is Called Inverse Kinematics or IK , Yes Unity also Has this Feature

[@SneakyAlba]

It's not quite the same thing. IK is a motion solver; instead of forcing animators to hand position and orient every joint in their character's body, IK lets them move the part that they're interested in (e.g. a hand or foot) and the system will figure out how to move the rest of the joints between it and the parent joint (e.g. the knee and leg joints between the foot and pelvis or elbow and shoulder joints between the hand and spine). It solves one part of the more complex whole that Euphoria aims to achieve. Euphoria's active ragdolls are IK + Physics sim + procedural animations + an AI to decide which animations to use and/or how to blend them together, with all of this built-over the games existing movement/physics systems.

[@mess-akhiangte3193]

definitely not the same thing
