Real Time Animation

Rich and efficient real time animation has become critical in today’s 3D games. In this course, the students will examine a wide scope of animation techniques that are used in traditional computer animations and in-game real time animation. Course material will focus on developing executable animation components including, morphing, articulated animation, skin and bones characters, an adaptable animation playback system and exporting/importing animation data from industry standard animation creation tools.
