Animals (including humans) have a very complex musculoskeletal system (the locomotor system) that gives them the ability to move around the body using the muscular and skeletal systems. We know where to put our steps when climbing a ladder, stairs, or on uneven terrain, and we know how to balance our body to stabilize all the fancy poses we want to make. We can do all this using our bones, muscles, joints, and other tissues, collectively described as our locomotor system.
Now, put that into our game development perspective. Let's say we have a human character who needs to walk on both even and uneven surfaces, or on small slopes, and we have only one animation for a walk cycle. With the lack of a locomotor system in our virtual ...
