...a mob that can walk accross gaps and even parcour-looking platforms? sounds like a nightmare, you make a mob-proof house and that thing casually ignores all of it
Definitely, when he mentioned alternative versions I knew he was going to do a fast version and that I'd hate it (and I did, burn it with fire, jesus christ), but seeing the 10 leg no constraints one climb up and then just slither off the wooden slabs was so much more horrifying
Its so crazy how a few fluidly moving linked blocks can incite such strong pattern recognition. The 10 segment no constraints model was terrifyingly marvelous.
Absolutely my favourite. It s l i t h e r e d The same code with different parameters made it resemble a bunch of diffedent spider types, an hunting spider, a curious spider (i was waiting for it too suddenly speed up), a dog, an alien crawly thing. Both morphology and behaviour wise
I’d love to see someone use this to make an actual creature with like. Texturing and more structure and such. Like make something like Valevisk’s game Crypt but there’s one of the 10-segment no-restraint creatures slinking around and hunting you

This is actually a perfect tutorial on how to make procedural walking in ANYTHING, not just Minecraft.

Beautiful.
would be interesting to generalize the way it detects "surfaces", probably using 14 rays. That way, it would be able to identify walls, and even walk on them.
@@tiredboytypoguy They just said nope to an idea. Probably not even out of real disliking, but more out of fear. Wich for a Minecraft mod, is actually kinda impressive or an odd compliment.
I love the heavy sounds you gave the spider and the fact it makes it feel like it actually bumped into something at 6:47, without it I think that would have felt unnatural. Honestly everything in this video was great, I want to see something like it in-game someday... even if that's just because hitting it with a stick sounds reaaaally satisfying.
This is actually far more understandable than any other teaching material I have ever seen. I never knew that Minecraft have so much potential to teach coding concepts before watching your video. I absolutely love all the content you make ❤
You literally explained how procedural animation work in a way that makes me understand like seriously many other creator explain how this works in a really complicated way
Lot of people are saying this would look terrifying in game, yet I can't say anything other than this for me is a beautiful work of art. Even more so with your step-by-step explanation to explain how it works.
It's impressive for sure, but it's not hard to understand why people find the concept of a minecraft spider that can seamlessly traverse the blocky terrain absolutely horrifying.
Just a few seconds in and this video had my undivided attention. Not only does the process get explained, it´s also very calming to listen to, both in voice and sound effects (The clink clonks of the spider legs hehe)
@@tigertech2579 Multi millionaire, game as a service, owned by a billionaire company with a massive fan base. Still can't do shit modders did 10 years ago.
This is genuinely one of the best tutorials for how to program. It's not "learn function" it's encounter problem, find solution. And seeing some of the solutions you came up with is extremely helpful!
Dude you’re totally right!!! I was trying to think where I remembered this from, and it was those little shapeshifting spiders in Prey lol. Speaking of which, whatever happened to that game? It seemed to have completely died 😅
This is a work of art, I'm incredibly unnerved. It moves disgustingly smoothly, and it activates the "DANGER, IS SPIDER" part of my brain. I would like to see this in a horror map, the sound and image of this chasing you down a tunnel or a darkened hallway would terrify people. 11/10 good movie, amazingly creepy creature.
Just imagine if instead of the metallic sounds in the video, we had something more like fast, quiet chittering against wood. Gives me chills and I want it to be real

Speaking of that, there is this mod I have seen on a video: "Vital Deprivation", that use procedural animation for the beast! This is such a coo feature for a horror mod!
This is one of the best examples for easily understanding procedural animation probably, minecraft is such a great environment for demos like this! You're awesome!
The demo in half life alyx where they show off their procedural walking system for humanoids is really cool as well They probably have a system for the antlions too but they don't show it Not sure if the strider uses it since I'm pretty sure that is mostly pre made animations
The way this could make for the absolute best mob. Not only could it be horrifying, but actually riding one or getting a mobility item that lets the player move around quickly with those legs would be so cool
Came to see silly spider, left with full knowledge about how to implement a procedural IK walk cycle on my own. Genuinely the way you explain these things is amazing.
I’ve always loved the idea of inverse kinematics, it’s so cool to see how you developed it! It’s getting me excited about trying something like it myself
This is some of the sickest stuff, i was in awe the whole way through, it’d be awesome to see something developed out of this, id personally love this as some kind of mount

This is really interesting! Some potential suggestions which I think would get the spider to walk up and down walls: -Rotate the spider's "level plane of reference" to the plane of best fit between all legs. This process should rotate the leg scanning as well. This should provide a good starting point to get it to move in non-level ways. -When the spider is moving, the leg return location could be offset in the direction of movement, to help avoid that "legs are catching up to the body" appearance. -Instead of offsetting the scanlines, you could scan along a circular path. The circle would be vertical, with the center at the current leg return location, and tangent to the leg's current position. The leg should scan "up and over" until the circle collides with a block. This way, if the spider encounters a cliff the leg will scan past level and downwards until it finds the start of the cliff. Similarly for hills, the leg will detect the front of the block before/above the floor and start the process of climbing upward.
I should note, the leg scanning wpuld be circular, but the actual movement once the leg finds a new target position would be in a straight line like currently.
i love how youre the first guy to apply some of my favorite tech in minecraft, imagine modded creatures with procedural animation and how everyone's minds would be blown, but look at how straightforward it is to implement
This is such an impressive showcase of animation tech, and like others have said I can't wait to see this used in other Minecraft mods or mob movements. This may be outside of your intentions for this showcase, but two things I think would boost the movement here would be a slight desync in leg movements and a jump animation. If the front limbs were slightly ahead of the rear limbs, I think it would give a more naturalistic movement, and I think adding a pouncing/jumping animation would bring the horror of being stalked by a creature to a new level. Just some ideas, overall amazing video!!
I love how you explained it step by step but it’s still unfathomable to me that this is done in Minecraft! I really like the one at 7:25 the “head” looking in the direction it’s going makes it seem alive, and the way it jumps off the roof is so alien looking
I tried to make this like 2 years ago and seeing you knock it out of the park is kinda disheartening but saves me time once the new update comes out and breaks everything.
Nice! Looks really good!! But on top of the actual technology, an entire explanatory video? This is crazy. Now I feel like I can do it all from scratch because of how clear it all was. XD
It amazes me that still to this day, people are making cool stuff like this in a game like Minecraft. Got nothing but respect for this person making this cool 'Procedural Walking Animation'. The explanations of certain concepts and mechanics are also very simple to understand. Good job on this video. Keep up the great work.

would be interesting to generalize the way it detects "surfaces", probably using 14 rays. That way, it would be able to identify walls, and even walk on them.
14 rays? why 14 specifically?
@@chikem_nufget I assume one ray for each face and corner of a cube
Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope! I mean it was already a lot of nope, but that would make it 1000x more nope!
@@tiredboytypoguy They just said nope to an idea. Probably not even out of real disliking, but more out of fear. Wich for a Minecraft mod, is actually kinda impressive or an odd compliment.
@@tiredboytypoguyI think they hate the concept because the spider is already scary enough.
This is what i couldn't imagine when block displays were added, really impressive!
I knew it would be a good feature but not this good lol
This is brilliant, Cymaera. You should be seriously proud of yourself for being so inventive. Well done!
The fast gait was absolutely terrifying
I really love the way the 10 segments + no rotational restraints one looks! Such cool slithery movement
feels like we're in a minecraft renaissance
Minecraft be like: "I always come back"
You’ve done it. You found a way to make minecraft actually terrifying
I love the heavy sounds you gave the spider and the fact it makes it feel like it actually bumped into something at 6:47, without it I think that would have felt unnatural.
Honestly everything in this video was great, I want to see something like it in-game someday... even if that's just because hitting it with a stick sounds reaaaally satisfying.
Clank
it could be a thing where you have to break the armor (the netherite) to get to the flesh (some particle) of the thing
Imagine procedurally generated responses to being damaged, the creature lurching back based on where it was hit.
This is actually far more understandable than any other teaching material I have ever seen. I never knew that Minecraft have so much potential to teach coding concepts before watching your video. I absolutely love all the content you make ❤
You literally explained how procedural animation work in a way that makes me understand like seriously many other creator explain how this works in a really complicated way
This is like how Rain World's AI works, using procedural animation for it's creatures! good job!
Lot of people are saying this would look terrifying in game, yet I can't say anything other than this for me is a beautiful work of art.
Even more so with your step-by-step explanation to explain how it works.
It's impressive for sure, but it's not hard to understand why people find the concept of a minecraft spider that can seamlessly traverse the blocky terrain absolutely horrifying.
Arachnophobia: So am I just a joke to you?
Just a few seconds in and this video had my undivided attention. Not only does the process get explained, it´s also very calming to listen to, both in voice and sound effects (The clink clonks of the spider legs hehe)
Bro, the 10 segments with no rotational constraints is just straight from hell, it's fricking terrifying, 11/10
A single man has accomplished what Mojang would complete within 2 years, 5 updates, and several dozen snapshots.

A directly player controlled version actually seems quite feasible given your clever “laser pointer” direction system. Great job.
SPIDER-CAT!
This is genuinely one of the best tutorials for how to program. It's not "learn function" it's encounter problem, find solution. And seeing some of the solutions you came up with is extremely helpful!
The implications for the different types of spiders at the end are incredible. Could be a really cool mod with lots of different types to be afraid of
6:40 this one looks great, it has something "alien" and unsettling to it, reminds me of Mimic from Prey (2017)
Dude you’re totally right!!! I was trying to think where I remembered this from, and it was those little shapeshifting spiders in Prey lol.
Speaking of which, whatever happened to that game? It seemed to have completely died 😅
@@foundationuser5043 it never got the attention it deserved
7:28 is also nightmare fuel
@@Mintor94 Yeah it never did unfortunately…. It died pretty fast after the top TH-camrs beat the game :/
that's some rainworld stuff right there
at 7:23 all i could think of was lizor
now it just needs to spin in a circle with a white rabbit in its mouth
This is a work of art, I'm incredibly unnerved. It moves disgustingly smoothly, and it activates the "DANGER, IS SPIDER" part of my brain.
I would like to see this in a horror map, the sound and image of this chasing you down a tunnel or a darkened hallway would terrify people.
11/10 good movie, amazingly creepy creature.
Just imagine if instead of the metallic sounds in the video, we had something more like fast, quiet chittering against wood. Gives me chills and I want it to be real
unfortunately this is a plugin, so you'd need to run a server locally instead of just using singleplayer
ur copypasting this everywhere.@@weigurde
@@boxfullofwater4187 yes, because it applies everywhere
you explained this INCREDIBLY well, i have no idea about basically anything about this yet i can fully understand and see whats occurring between iterations, good work!
Man, the stuff people can do in Minecraft sure has come a long way

Marry me. No, i'm not talking to you, i'm talking to the spider!
woah woah woah calm down!
i would be talking to him
@@DankGas- hold up, let him cook
as a programmer watched with enjoyment, I’m very glad that I can see the original code!
the no rotation constraint variants at the end are absolutely terrifying
20 segments no rotational contraints looks terrifying
I want it in minecraft so damn bad
why is this actually the best explanation of procedural and IK and the logic behind decisions that I have seen
Speaking of that, there is this mod I have seen on a video: "Vital Deprivation", that use procedural animation for the beast! This is such a coo feature for a horror mod!
This video deserves way more views. This guy makes complex coding visually stunning and digestible. Wow
I love how each little optimization is shown based on how it is an improvement over the previous version
This is one of the best examples for easily understanding procedural animation probably, minecraft is such a great environment for demos like this! You're awesome!
The demo in half life alyx where they show off their procedural walking system for humanoids is really cool as well
They probably have a system for the antlions too but they don't show it
Not sure if the strider uses it since I'm pretty sure that is mostly pre made animations
7:42 look at the reaction this provokes
There were definitely giant man eating arachnids in prehistory
7:25 is easily the most terrifying thing i've seen in minecraft. absolutely incredible, i love this
It’s not scary it’s silly
7:27 The f is that!!! 😰
Genuinely one of the best videos I’ve seen this year! I love how literally everything is made with Minecraft blocks
The way this could make for the absolute best mob. Not only could it be horrifying, but actually riding one or getting a mobility item that lets the player move around quickly with those legs would be so cool
Came to see silly spider, left with full knowledge about how to implement a procedural IK walk cycle on my own.
Genuinely the way you explain these things is amazing.
This is so fucking incredible. I felt genuine unease when you showed all the different monstrosities you were able to create at the end.
i love inverse kinematics and sine waves everyone loves me in trig
Same it's super cool and useful stuff to mess around with
I’ve always loved the idea of inverse kinematics, it’s so cool to see how you developed it! It’s getting me excited about trying something like it myself
This is some of the sickest stuff, i was in awe the whole way through, it’d be awesome to see something developed out of this, id personally love this as some kind of mount
I've always thought a horror mod using this kind of gimmick would be perfect for minecraft

Damn. You're a real engineer. I was impressed at every turn of your problem-solving.

This is really interesting! Some potential suggestions which I think would get the spider to walk up and down walls:
-Rotate the spider's "level plane of reference" to the plane of best fit between all legs. This process should rotate the leg scanning as well. This should provide a good starting point to get it to move in non-level ways.
-When the spider is moving, the leg return location could be offset in the direction of movement, to help avoid that "legs are catching up to the body" appearance.
-Instead of offsetting the scanlines, you could scan along a circular path. The circle would be vertical, with the center at the current leg return location, and tangent to the leg's current position. The leg should scan "up and over" until the circle collides with a block. This way, if the spider encounters a cliff the leg will scan past level and downwards until it finds the start of the cliff. Similarly for hills, the leg will detect the front of the block before/above the floor and start the process of climbing upward.
-Giving the spider actually 6 legs
I should note, the leg scanning wpuld be circular, but the actual movement once the leg finds a new target position would be in a straight line like currently.
it just kept on getting better and getting better, im so impressed and out of words right now...
i love how youre the first guy to apply some of my favorite tech in minecraft, imagine modded creatures with procedural animation and how everyone's minds would be blown, but look at how straightforward it is to implement
Woah, its kinda terrifying to see such an organic walk in Minecraft but also great job!
This is such an impressive showcase of animation tech, and like others have said I can't wait to see this used in other Minecraft mods or mob movements. This may be outside of your intentions for this showcase, but two things I think would boost the movement here would be a slight desync in leg movements and a jump animation. If the front limbs were slightly ahead of the rear limbs, I think it would give a more naturalistic movement, and I think adding a pouncing/jumping animation would bring the horror of being stalked by a creature to a new level. Just some ideas, overall amazing video!!
that fast gait part was absolutely terrifying, great job
I love how you explained it step by step but it’s still unfathomable to me that this is done in Minecraft! I really like the one at 7:25 the “head” looking in the direction it’s going makes it seem alive, and the way it jumps off the roof is so alien looking
I tried to make this like 2 years ago and seeing you knock it out of the park is kinda disheartening but saves me time once the new update comes out and breaks everything.
Nice! Looks really good!! But on top of the actual technology, an entire explanatory video? This is crazy.
Now I feel like I can do it all from scratch because of how clear it all was. XD
Ah you made me look
It amazes me that still to this day, people are making cool stuff like this in a game like Minecraft.
Got nothing but respect for this person making this cool 'Procedural Walking Animation'.
The explanations of certain concepts and mechanics are also very simple to understand.
Good job on this video. Keep up the great work.
One of the best explanations and demonstrations of IK chains I've seen in a good while, great work!
