First, you’ll learn how to use modern high-performance graphics, dig into the details of how virtual characters are stored, and load the models and animations into a minimalistic game-like application. Then, you’ll get an overview of the components of an animation system, how to play the animations and combine them, and how to blend from one animation into another. You’ll also get an introduction to topics that will make your programming life easier, such as debugging your code or stripping down the graphical output.By the end of this book, you’ll have gained deep insights into all the parts of game animation programming and how they work together, revealing the magic that brings life to the virtual worlds on your screen.What you will learnCreate simple OpenGL and Vulkan applications and work with shadersExplore the glTF file format, including its design and data structuresDesign an animation system with poses, clips, and skinned meshesFind out how vectors, matrices, quaternions, and splines are used in game developmentDiscover and implement ways to seamlessly blend character animationsImplement inverse kinematics for your characters using CCD and FABRIK solversUnderstand how to render large, animated crowds efficientlyIdentify and resolve performance issuesWho this book is forThis book is for curious C++ developers, game programmers, game designers, and character animators, either pursuing this as a hobby or profession, who have always wanted to look behind the curtain and see how character animation in games works. The book assumes basic C++ and math knowledge, and you should be able to read code and math formulas to get the most out of this book.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 235mmItem Length: 191mmAuthor: Michael Dunsky, Gabor SzauerGenre: Computing & InternetRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
