Pose warping/Distance matching

[ywmaa]

• Stop Animation
• Orientation warping (changing character direction without animation)
• slope warping (change the position of feet on slopes
• stride warping (change the pace of the stride to match the actual speed)

Edit :
Main systems are done and working, now time for polishing the system :

• Orientation warping fix.
• Adjust feet rotation in Slope warping.
• Generalize the pose warping functions (expose bone names).
• fix Idle and Air state issues.
• rotate in place with feet locking.

Update : I am going to split Distance matching functions in an standalone addon so it can be used alone in Godot asset lib, and it will be used here in AMSG (Advanced Movement System Godot).

I can't finish these feature until godot 4 gets a proper IK system, at least for legs, even better a full body IK system.

but the base for stride warping is there, slope warping is easy to do, but it needs IK setup.

News : I have decided to continue work on it, as now SkeletonIK 3D may work for me.

If it turns out SkeletonIK3D isn't enough, I will use the FABRIK algorithm example in the Godot Engine myself, though I don't know if its performance will be good or not since it is done in GD script.

This is the FABRIK algorithm I mean :

Edit : typo

Also the whole thing is going to be done as One Node

To make setting this up very easy for any type of skeleton or player movement script

If someone is following this issue, I am getting results, and expect a new update video soon!

I am shooting high to the moon and saying I am almost close to achieve the AAA Movement look.
