★★★★☆

Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Procedural Animation is excellent, I found the sections on Physics Simulation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Physics Simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Advanced Game Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Inverse Kinematics will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Skinned Rigs, 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 Computer Graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Skinned Rigs 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 Game Development. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Development feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
