Welcome to Mastering C++ Game Animations! Are you the kind of person who looks at the animated models in a computer or console game, or a 3D animation tool, and asks yourself questions like: How does this work? How do they do this? Could I do this myself, too? If so, this book will take you in the right direction to achieving this. In the next 14 chapters, you will learn how to create your own little game character model viewer. The book starts with loading a file using Open Asset Import Library, converting the data structures from the importer library into more efficient data structures for rendering, and rendering the character model with a simple OpenGL or Vulkan renderer. You will also learn how to optimize data updates and rendering by relocating computational load to the GPU in the form of GPUbased lookup tables and compute shaders. For the character animations, you will not only dive into normal animation blending but also be introduced to state-based animation control, additive animation blending to move the head independently of the rest of the body, and facial animations. You will also learn how to control the behavior of the instances by using a simplified version of behavior trees and implement interaction between the instances on the screen. To give a proper home to the game characters, you will learn how to load a game map into the application. Moving around in the game map will be enhanced by adding collision detection, inverse kinematics for the character feet, and simple navigation to let the instances run around fully on their own in the virtual world. In addition to the animations, features such as interactive selection by using the mouse, saving and loading the configuration to a file to allow working on larger virtual worlds, and handling different cameras in the virtual world are introduced. Also, a graphical, node-based configuration will be implemented, enabling you to change the behavior of the instances in a non-programming way. With all these steps combined, your virtual characters in the virtual world will come closer to real game characters.
