Ouch! Try finding a stuntman to do this for motion capture.

This animation was created entirely automatically by Falling Bodies. We started that guy on the balcony at the top of the stairs, gave him a little forward motion by keyframing, and let him fall. The simulator did the rest.

Collisions of articulated bodies with hard objects don't look right in most simulators. The tough problem is giving characters "weight". We use a new technique for simulating collisions that does a good job of creating "weight". View this one and judge for yourself.
