Ragdoll physics is a type of procedural animation used by physics engines, which is often used as a replacement for traditional static death animations in video games and animated films. As computers increased in power, it became possible to do limited real-time physical simulations , which made death animations more realistic.
Some games, such as Boneworks and Half-Life 2, apply forces to individual joints that allow ragdolls to move and behave like humanoids with fully procedural animations. This allows to, for example, knock an enemy down or grab each individual joint and move it around and the physics-based animation would adapt accordingly, which wouldn't be ...
Instead of using predefined animations, the characters' actions and reactions are synthesized in real-time; they are different every time, even when replaying the same scene. While it is common for current video games to use limp "ragdolls" for animations generated on the fly, Euphoria employed a more complex method to animate the entirety of ...

Removed claim that prescripted animation uses less memory than a ragdoll physics animation. A prescripted animation must have bone locations for every key frame at the very least. Ragdoll physics only require the current state of the bones to remain in memory. --MidoriKid 01:43, 2 September 2005 (UTC)
