Motion Matching: Implementation of GAVI's Velocity Direction
Introducing the motion matching system for GAVI, another playable character in Project TH.
In non-combat scenarios, GAVI's walking animation is implemented using motion matching based on Velocity Direction, aiming to achieve a natural gait that not only looks realistic but also conveys the character's emotions and atmosphere.
Motion matching utilizes diverse movement data to instantly match the required animations, offering continuity and fluidity that are difficult to achieve with traditional state machine systems. This allows GAVI's movements to respond seamlessly to player inputs, perfectly capturing her unique idol-like walking style within the game. Furthermore, GAVI's movements adapt naturally to her emotions and surroundings, enabling players to experience her feelings and narrative more deeply through her stride.
