what I find interesting is the way in which they're bringing the skeleton to life... pretty great HOWEVER, still, it seems the people creating it are learning from a source rather than through their selves.
IF they were learning through their experience and knowledge of HOW the skeletal system moves in relation to each other, THEN their software would move the tailbone when the pelvis moves.
An explanation could be that the tailbone is anchored as a fixed point to work from - understandable - however there is little movement in the sacro illiac joint which many think as fixed. It's not.

some Feldenkrais lessons prove otherwise, I feel movement when I move on particular angles.
That recent Rolfing experience also provided proof (for me). I was firmly rooted into the ground and could move in any direction once the sphenoid and pelvis had connected. The skull also has moving parts - see Cranio Sacral Balancing - as does the pelvis. Those sutures are (still) connected with cartilage and they move:
One of the components of the cranial concept for practitioners who practice cranial osteopathy or craniosacral therapy is that the bones of the head move along the sutures. The movement can be described as an expansion and compression that take place much how the rib cage moves during respiration.
(like a whisper!)
why I'm saying this is that... when developers have a greater understanding of how THEIR skeletal system moves, THEN we will have a more accurate experience of the software they create.
Animation is the game... how to bring something to LIFE, the closer we get to that, the closer we get to our Selves. And I think then, once we as a species are at that stage, the sense of wonder will over-ride any tendency to want to do harm to this majestic entity we live in..
UnRealEngine are the closest I've seen for movement - it's one thing to create software that replicates the flat image, a COMPLETE other to create software of the living entity which is constantly moving.
That's LIFE!!
Last thing, when the skeletal system is organised and connected, THEN the muscles can move freely around the frame. The nerves have room between the bones to roam free - like a mycelium network, we can connect with our Selves, and others in a way that communicates wordlessly.
THIS is Feldenkrais.
that's from the AStandard software... I bought the app for the spine.
ok, last last thing...
I see commonalities between what I've shared here and coding.. the challenge of bringing life to systems, bringing systems to life.
