Your ragdoll animation looks pretty good.
For those interested stuckon3D showed how he created ragdoll characters. These were done with iClone 5.


Very good tutorial with a very simple method. I bet this also works in Poser, since it has the Bullet engine with the same capabilities. Smile

Back in the day, I have created a few stick figure animations using 
Endorphin to generate the character motions, and then animate them Endorphin to generate the character motions, and then animate them

I used the old Python/ODE poser physics plugin for years even doing 
some commercial animation work.

The big problem with the poser physics plugin was it was all trial and 
error with very few parameters to effect the simulation outcome.

Endorphin has an excellent constraint system for pinning body parts 
during simulation and the ability to mix simulation events with 
imported BVH motion for more complex Character interaction
and adjustable behavioural settings such as Writhe or struggle and 
arms flailing etc .

Here are two more clips 
one showing how well endorphin's constraint system 
can pin a character  for an impalement as well as
the "struggle" parameter.
The other is a complex fight scene where imported motion is mixed 
with collisions dynamics
