★★★★★

Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Advanced Game Programming is excellent, I found the sections on Interactive Animation less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Interactive Animation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Animation Programming more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Advanced Game Programming will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computer Graphics, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Game Animation Programming! It completely changed my perspective on Game Animation. At first I wasn't sure about Computer Graphics, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Computer Graphics is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Ragdoll Physics. What I appreciated most was how the book made Game Animation feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
