ANI 443: 3D Animation for Games and Cinematics

In this course students will learn how to apply their animation skills for real-time interactive game development while simultaneously improving their knowledge of body mechanics and animation techniques. Students will learn how to develop core playable-character game animations such as run cycles and attacks, as well as how to implement these animations into a game engine and adjust parameters to achieve a finalized performance. Additional focus will be on learning to create cinematic shots centered around driving story and introducing important gameplay concepts.
