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

This work by Game Animation Programming represents a significant contribution to the field of Game Development. The author's approach to Game Animation demonstrates a sophisticated understanding that will benefit both novice and experienced readers alike. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion on Physics Simulation, which provides fresh insights into Animation Programming. The methodological rigor and theoretical framework make this an essential read for anyone interested in Physics Simulation. While some may argue that Game Animation, the overall quality of the research and presentation is undeniable. This volume will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field of Programming.

I absolutely loved Game Animation Programming! It completely changed my perspective on Game Animation. At first I wasn't sure about Animation Programming, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Animation 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 Physics Simulation feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
