Rigid bodies and multiple ragdolls in Behaviour?

Rigid bodies and multiple ragdolls in Behaviour?

I viewed some demo videos of XSI Behaviour 2.0.

Very impressive!

I wonder if the following is possible in v2.0:

Let's assume we have mocap library of moves during fighting, where for
instance the actor is fighting with a sword.

Let's say we want to simulate hundreds of characters fighting with swords
and we have hundreds of mocap moves that are possible. If the two groups of
actor enemies are charging at each other is it possible to have interaction
between the ragdolls, where they bump into each other and knock each other
out based on speed, mass etc. ?

Can we make the swords as rigid bodies so if they touch during the fight,
they would collide, bounce etc.? This of course would be layered on the top
of mocap and simulation data.



Finally is Behaviour limited to bipedal simulation or can one also use the
other rigs in XSI and export animation to Behaviour for simulation?



Thank you,

Luke
