What is Procedural Animation?

  • Motion generated in real time - that means code!
  • Wait a minute, games are real time!
  • Match made in heaven :D

Why Procedural Animation?

  • Make motion react to environment
  • Less time animating, more time in code
  • Necessary for polished animation
  • More believable, “physical” creatures - traditional methods are bad at this
