Now that we have the various 'blocks' to our elephant animation, ragdoll simulation and secondary motion prepared, we can actually bring them together and be one step closer to the final pass. We will of course, make adjustments (ragdoll collision shapes, ragdoll constraints/external constraints) before writing out this animated sequence as an *.fbx, to give to our animator for some more tweaking.
