Animation techniques for inverse kinematics and foot locking detailed

This blog post delves into the technical aspects of inverse kinematics and foot locking for animation systems, addressing the common challenge of foot sliding. The author presents a series of practical techniques and code examples to help animators achieve more visually appealing results. The methods discussed include positioning a character's toe at a desired location, locking the toe's position during runtime using inertialization, automatically annotating animation data for contacts, and an offline approach for removing foot sliding.
