Our experts cover both low-level animation computational code and animation controllers, which are high-level systems, used to control animations on characters.
The session also gives an overview of the pros and cons of the current Mannequin system, and you’ll learn about our plans to evolve the animation stack, which will future-proof the system, decrease the learning curve, and increase accessibility for designers and technical artists.
