Develop a compact game-engine-like animation application in C using OpenGL 4 or Vulkan while learning advanced animation techniques step-by-step through hands-on implementation in this part-color guide

Key Features

Learn how to build a game-engine-like skeleton application with modern graphics API
Gain insights into compute shaders, visual selection, UI creation and visual programming, configuration file handling, collision detection, behavior controls, and more
Create your own virtual world with naturally acting inhabitants
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description

With two decades of programming experience across multiple languages and platforms, expert game developer and console porting programmer, Michael Dunsky will guide you through the intricacies of character animation programming. to tackle common challenges developers face in creating sophisticated, efficient, and visually appealing character animations. It shows you how to use the Open Asset Import Library for easy 3D model loading and explore a 3D engine by optimization by offloading computations from the CPU to the GPU. Youll learn how to implement visual selection and extended camera handling techniques, as well as separating your application into edit and simulation modes. Youll understand how to store configurations to continue building your virtual world piece by piece. As you work on creating an engine-like application, covering collision detection and inverse kinematics, youll discover how to bring your character to life with realistic visuals and fluid movement. For more advanced animation and character behavior controls, youll craft truly immersive and responsive NPCs, load real game maps, and use navigation algorithms to roam freely in complex environments. By the end of the book, youll be skilled at designing own interactive virtual worlds inhabited by lifelike NPCs that exhibit natural, context-aware behaviors.

What you will learn

Understand the basics of the Open Asset Import Library
Animate thousands of game characters
Extend ImGui with more advanced control types
Implement simple configuration file handling
Explore collision detection between 3D models and world objects
Combine inverse kinematics and collision detection
Work with state machines, behavior trees, and interaction
