Even the crash sequences in the pod races of Star Wars were completely based on a virtual crash formula that was 100% computer driven, and there are many other examples of this concept. It is the obvious evolution in 3d design animation.

It is the obvious evolution in 3d animation. Instead of a two day creation that was the result of interpretation of what would happen in a particular case, these formula actually allow for the computer to do much of “tweaking.”

Now at TED, gives a remarkable talk was given about how characters move in games, and how to make more lifelike using … mimicking the human spinal cord and using evolutionary learning algorithms… it is very idea.
