What makes the difference between great video game animation and the purely functional, and how does this relatively new medium of non-linear animation creation differ from the more traditional fields of film and television? This book de-mystifies the animation side of game development, explaining every step of the process while providing valuable insights and work philosophies for creating the best game animation for beginners and professionals alike. Taking readers through a complete game production, this book provides a clear understanding of expectations of the game animator at every stage, featuring game animation fundamentals and how they fit within an overall project to offer a holistic approach to the field of game animation.
Game Engines - this is the software that wrangles together all the various game assets and data creation, from animation, art, and audio to level design and more, and spits out a complete video game.

Offering a suite of tools to create and integrate all aspects of game creation, these professional-grade game engines are now freely available to everyone reading this book!
