One Small Step
Duncan Bakke
When we conduct research (like modelling human gait) the end result may feel anticlimactic. Fake legs taking fake steps. But each step is the culmination of thousands of hours of work from dozens of researchers.
Each of the bones visible in this image were generated using a shape modelling workflow carefully crafted using models of hundreds of people. The steps were recorded after training from several people, themselves trained for years - simulated in an open-source engine that’s taken a decade to develop. A giant leap, composed of a million tiny motes of progress. All for this one small step.
