While Game Animation Programming makes several valuable points about Game Animation, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Ragdoll Physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Physics Simulation. That said, the sections on Programming are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Skinned Rigs, this could be a truly outstanding work.

I'll be honest, I wasn't sure what to expect with Game Animation Programming, but wow! It completely blew me away. The way the author explains Procedural Animation made everything click for me. I've been struggling with Programming for years, and this book gave me the tools I needed. My favorite part was when they talked about Advanced Game Development - it reminded me so much of my own experience with Inverse Kinematics. I've already recommended it to all my friends!

As a scholar in Game Animation, I found Game Animation Programming to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Game Animation is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Procedural Animation, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Ragdoll Physics. While some may argue that Computer Graphics, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Game Animation.

Game Animation Programming is a comprehensive exploration of Game Animation that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 7 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 3's discussion of Game Animation is particularly strong, with clear examples and practical applications. The diagrams and illustrations throughout help clarify complex ideas, and the chapter summaries are excellent for review. My only minor critique is that the conclusion seemed rushed, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.
