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.
GAVI: A Story Hidden Behind a Closed Heart
GAVI is a member of ORDO, a two-member girl idol group representing South Korea. Walking alongside her reveals a story concealed behind the dazzling spotlight, her stunning appearance, and her exceptional dancing and singing skills.
Her eyes reflect a certain emptiness, and her cold yet fragile expression hints at a heart tightly locked away. Once radiating confidence that dominated the world, where has that brilliance gone?
What happened to her to make her heart close off like this? And why are the terrorists targeting her?
Take a stroll with GAVI through the streets of Yeouido, Seoul, as you uncover fragments of her untold story. Amid the familiar urban scenery, her every step becomes more than just a movement—it tells a tale of emotions and secrets. Perhaps, as you quietly walk beside her, you'll glimpse the truth seeping through the cracks of her guarded heart.
