ragdoll

The ragdoll effect can be applied to a character rig in motionbuilder. This makes the character collapse in a realistic way. To add the effect you must have the character in a T pose position to start. you can then drag a physic solver into the view window and add the ragdoll effect. You can also add a collider into the scene so your ragdoll effect can interact with the object and make it seem like your character is tripping/ falling over an object.
