★★★★☆

Game Animation Programming offers a compelling take on Game Animation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Game Development is excellent, I found the sections on Programming less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Advanced Game Programming 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 Development will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Advanced Game Programming, 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 Game Development, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Skinned Rigs 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 Animation Programming. What I appreciated most was how the book made Advanced Game Programming feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
