This is the newest addition to the 'Advances In Computer Graphics And Game Development' series, providing guidance for intermediate and advanced programmers looking to add photorealistic animation to their multimedia / entertainment renderings and animation source code.
Using the popular applications 3D Studio Max and Milkshape Modeler, detailed tutorials teach programmers how to create 2, 4, 6 and 8 legged creatures that can walk and interact within a virtual environment that appears solid and real.
Moving from the creation of a 3D model that requires bones for articulated animation of the arms and legs, to the finished animation sequences, step-by-step exercises explore the various techniques of animation. The techniques used in the tutorials can be easily applied to other professional 3D software.
