Character Control In A Web Game Engine, Adding A Cage To A Rig So It Can Walk Up Stairs And Jump
This is the second tutorial that shows how to control a stick man rig in a web browser. In this tutorial a cage is added to the character rig. This method gives access to the ready made character functions in the physics module of the blend4web API.
The software used is Blender and blend4web. Blender is a free open source 3D software package. Blend4web is an extension to Blender that provides tools and an API for putting Blender content onto the Internet.
This tutorial is based on the following blend4web tutorial -

This tutorial shows how to make changes to the character rig in the Blender file including adding a cage (an encapsulating mesh object).

In this example the character rig used is a stick man. There are a series of tutorials that show how to make the stick man rig. The tutorial shows how to fine tune the walk cycle before linking the file to the code snippet.
