★★★★☆

Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Skinned Rigs is excellent, I found the sections on Skinned Rigs less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Game Development that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Computer Graphics more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Interactive Animation will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Animation Programming, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Game Animation Programming! It completely changed my perspective on Game Animation. At first I wasn't sure about Advanced Game Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Advanced Game Programming is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Skinned Rigs. What I appreciated most was how the book made Skinned Rigs feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
