SIGGRAPH Series – Part 03 – ‘’DeepMimic: Example-Guided Deep Reinforcement Learning of Physics-Based Character Skills”

This is the third installment of the 3DeepLearner 2018 SIGGRAPH Series where I cover the most interesting deep learning papers (according to our audience) in a short video format. This video covers DeepMimic: Example-Guided Deep Reinforcement Learning of Physics-Based Character Skills by Peng et al. Link to the paper: https://xbpeng.github.io/projects/DeepMimic/index.html …

Teaching a Bop Bag to Stand Up with Simplified DeepMimic

DeepMimic relies on reinforcement learning to teach skills to ragdolls. It’s time for you to experiment with a simplified version of it in Maya. In previous posts, we have discussed the approximation of character animation with Neural Networks. This approximation was kinematic, that is, it was not concerned with the …
