Re: Game Specific Animation Techniques
Cycles. Having all your animations blend together, is the main thing. I do work in the industry, but havent worked on any large games yet, so I don't know all the differences and techniques. I have enrolled in iAnimate Games and start in May. So i`ll be learning more then. But ya, I would say cycles is the main thing. But… -
Re: Game Specific Animation Techniques
I would like to see less game animators using the standard boring Maya character rigs and at least put some effort into modeling their own stuff, or at least get some SDK characters (like the awesome SDK meshes here on pc) and rig them up for some animation. It just feels way off to me, seeing… -

Fortunately I've been using Maya for ~5 years so I don't need to worry about technicalities, or faffing around with the software rather than learning the… -

I can't imagine the basic functionality of a rig being different from game and feature film, the only thing feature film rigs would have is .. more shit :) muscles and corrective blend shapes and what have you.. if you think of showing of rigging in your demo, then I don't think you need stuff like muscles and whatever,…
