it's bimonthly "felthry is amazed at the fact that inverse kinematics is computationally easy" day again

I mean, if you build a little neural network, yeah. Good luck otherwise though, what with the non-closed-form solution thing. :P
@zetasyanthis i'm talking about its use in 3d graphics for positioning limbs with reference points only for the feet/hands, specifically! it probably gets a lot harder with an unbounded number of articulation points

Oh gosh, yes, that would definitely make it harder. You'd need a bigger and bigger neural net. (Last time I played with them, a 3-5-3 feed-forward was enough for a limb with three articulation points. NASA has a paper on it somewhere an used the same thing for the space shuttle arm.)
@zetasyanthis they've been using IK stuff since the early days of 3d graphics though, before neural networks were a thing people researched. There's IK in the original n64 release of Ocarina of Time!

@zetasyanthis Well, either that or neural networks have been a thing used in video game programming for way longer than we thought
