Description
Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques is a comprehensive guide to teaching the fundamentals of animation programming. The latest techniques are covered in this third edition, along with theory and high-level computation that have earned it a reputation as a top resource for technically-oriented animators.
The book delves into key topics such as fluids, hair, and crowd animation, expanding on these subjects and adding new coverage of clothes and cloth. It also provides an in-depth look at simulation, with example animations, chapter projects, and exercises to help you master the subject.
With a focus on mathematical foundations, this book explains the algorithms used for path following, hierarchical kinematic modelling, rigid body dynamics, flocking behaviour, particle systems, collision detection, and more. A companion site is included, featuring contemporary animation examples, sample animations, and example code to support your learning.
