Torsten Reil bestudeert biologie om animaties te maken

Torsten Reil vertelt hoe de studie van de biologie kan helpen om natuurlijk uitziende animaties van mensen te maken door  een mens van binnen naar buiten, met botten, spieren en een zenuwstelsel op te bouwen. 
Hij sprak op TED in 2003. Bekijk zijn werk nu in GTA4.

Animated characters in current games and films move in predictable, repetitive ways, lacking true interactivity. By simulating both the human body and its nervous system, digital characters can learn to walk, balance, and even react to explosions in real time. In one striking experiment, a stick figure taught itself to walk through evolutionary algorithms, failing hilariously at first but eventually striding upright. This technology is already being used for safer stunt work and is opening new possibilities for both entertainment and medical simulations.
