About This Book

Game Inverse Kinematics a practical introduction presents a beginners guide to getting started with inverse kinematics. In this book, a broad range of inverse kinematic techniques are explained from a practical perspective. The reader is introduced to the exciting topic using practical examples. The book explains basic principles all the way through to testing and coding, while illustrating and explaining working samples to give the reader a solid grasp of the topic.Master the basic maths and principles needed to incorporate inverse kinematics into your simulationCode 2D and 3D inverse kinematic simulations, such as articulated characters and pulley systemsConstruct kinematic structures for generated character posesDevelop an understanding for simulation inaccuracies, numerical problems, approximations, and how to deal with themThis book is intended to serve as an introductory text, but it also offers experienced developers a useful perspective on aspects of inverse kinematic techniques with which they may not have deep experience. As always, minimal working examples are provided, making it an excellent jumping off point for those who wish to dig deeper into any particular aspects of inverse kinematics. The book follows a step-by-step approach, introducing basic principles and problems related to the different inverse kinematic techniques, including analytical, heuristic, and global approaches. The book explains concepts from a practical point of view with implementation details, limitations, engineering workarounds, and common pitfalls.

Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an experienced professional seeking advanced knowledge, this book has something valuable to offer.

A beautiful dive into the world of simulation. Amazing. It made me reflect on so many aspects of my life. I couldn’t stop reading once I started. Each chapter was a revelation. The writing style is warm and engaging. This is the kind of book that stays with you long after finishing. A story that touched my heart and opened my mind.
