While Inverse Kinematics Essentials makes several valuable points about inverse kinematics, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of skeletal seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to animation. That said, the sections on kinematics are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in animation, this could be a truly outstanding work.

Inverse Kinematics Essentials is a comprehensive exploration of kinematics that manages to be both accessible to newcomers and valuable to experts. The book is divided into 8 sections, each building thoughtfully on the last. Part 2's discussion of inverse kinematics 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 more primary sources would strengthen the argument, but this doesn't detract from the overall quality. This will undoubtedly become a standard reference in the field.

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

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

Has anyone else noticed how Inverse Kinematics Essentials relates to skeletal? I was reading about kinematics and it made me think of chapter 3.
