An Animator-friendly Chain Simulator for In-game Animations at Blizzard Entertainment
SessionReal-Time and Pre-Vis and Games, Oh My!
DescriptionSimulation of cloth and hair of characters are represented using joint animation for in-game processing. Deducing joint rotations from simulated mesh using rivets or decomposition pose limitations to our animators. We present a custom solution that provides simpler setup to simulate joint chains and resolve collisions yielding optimized results.
