So, does anyone have good techniques for jumping niceley over sharp edges with a 3d character? I am making a 3D platformer and the feeling of jumping up on boxes is not good yet. What are the industry tricks? #3dplatformer #charactercontroller #locomtion

In their Commentary article, Yangfan Zhang & George Lauder discuss how little we know about the energetic cost of moving as a group compared with that of solitary locomotion, given that moving in flocks, shoals and herds is ubiquitous among vertebrates

Summary: Collective movement is a ubiquitous behaviour among vertebrates and yet we understand little about the energetic cost of moving as a group compared with that of solitary locomotion.
