Hi, I've been searching (googling) about Inverse Kinematics but only to find few articles not to mention that those articles somewhat very short and have no explanations. I found one on darwin3d but the sample code/article is messed up. Can somebody show me where to look for these resources ??

"Cyclic coordinate descent" is a fairly simple iterative IK method. If you google for it, there are plenty of resources on the net.

Hi, try Jeff Landers site, it has tons of information on IK and skeletal animation.

I attempted to use IK a year ago. I didn't even know what calculus is back then.

Since then, I have taught myself calculus, and will prolly try it again. Is not easy stuff.

I would google for 3D Game Engine Design by David Eberly. That book has it, and full source code. But it goes really deep into the mathematics of it.
