In this video, you will learn how to use inverse kinematics (IK) to make your characters walk like a pro on any terrain. You will see how IK can improve your animations by keeping the feet on the ground, adjusting the foot rotation and angle, and moving the hips and knees accordingly. You will also learn how to implement IK in your own project using an open-source example and some simple code. By the end of this video, you will be able to create realistic and dynamic character movements with IK.
