Gnomon Workshop as probably some of the best DVD's on character animation. Eat3D has a DVD on facial animation for games. Digital Tutors cover alot of the basic and fundamentals. Animation Mentor supposed to be really good and pricey! Art of Rigging books seem to be well respected as well. Maybe someone who's in animating…
Does anyone know anything about the weapon submissions? Like, First person view. We are going to have to reanimate for each of the animations the weapon has? Or are they looking for weapons that fit into/attach to the hand animations exactly like the stock ones? If we are having to reanimate and then export the animations…

So I want to add a toon style character in to the UDK engine and animate it. However this toon character does not have perfectly spherical eyes rather it has flat eyes. Which I could animate in a modeling program with the help of lattices or FFD boxes, but that does not transfer to UDK. Or I can animate it my animating the…
I am not sure if you have ever textured something before, that is what I am getting from your posts. Firstly, if UV hulls are overlapping they will share the texture that is in that space. So if you have detail that is intended for her chest that will show on any other UV that is in that same space. The reason for…
