@_slephy_ Something like a prop bone that you animate in Blender and attach assets to in engine. Or any other bone used as a socket, ik target, etc.

"During the export process, we only keep the deformation and helper bones necessary for the character to function, and we bake the animation onto the deformation bones." -@ArminHalac An answer to a common question. But Armin, what are examples of helper bones? #b3d #rigging

@Bbbn192 I have no idea about SDFs so I will assume it’s like two vectors. I’d normalize them and do a dot product. If the absolute of the result is less than 1 then they are colliding

AbraTools contains a list of many quality-of-life animation tools for Blender 3 and 4. It's made by animators, for animators. github.com/abrasic/abrato…

@MattLakeTA Congratulations! Looking forward to getting mine and digging into it

It is 1 week today Technical Animation In Video Games arrives; I cannot believe it's nearly upon us after tinkering on it since 2021. Some lucky people are already getting it early! There's a discord community setup to get like-minded tech folks together discord.gg/YZ2BEdDJRJ

@GerredeMeer @pierrick_picaut Hiya! The hardcover is meant for libraries and similar so it doesn’t have the nice cover image and is very pricey. So I would recommend the paperback. I put a lot of attention into making every illustration readable and the print is nice too.

@ArminHalac @pierrick_picaut Hi there Armin! I am determined to buy this book but hesitating between paperback and hardcover. Does the hardcover have the same print as the paperback?

Had the pleasure of chatting with Pierrick and get his review of my book. Thank you so much @pierrick_picaut for the good time! Can't wait to hang out at BCON. #rigging #b3d #techart #rigtip #gamedev

@AdvAnimJerome @lotfgame @CIGamesOfficial I am absolutely in love with the game. Fantastic work!

Celebrating the release of @lotfgame and my time @CIGamesOfficial I'd like to present my animation showreel. Show the team some love. #animation #gamedevs #animation3d #Soulsborne #soulstober2023 Watch higher res version here. vimeo.com/878423145

I will admit it’s strange to buy a book on software these days, but this latest release from @ArminHalac on rigging for games has been incredibly helpful. It’s focussed on #blender but the concepts are universal. Understanding rigging has really opened up my character workflow.

@Steveteeps Happy to hear it helped you. And thank you for spreading the word. 🙂

@marmosetco 3D animator @ArminHalac uses @Marmosetco as his go-to-tool for its powerful #OpenUSD features and user-friendly interface. See how Marmoset simplifies his workflow. nvda.ws/49a3RT4

@Razer4T7 Hi @Razer4T7, it is available as a kindle version on Amazon, and as pdf here: routledge.com/A-Complete-Gui…

@pierrick_picaut I did not punch Pierrick and force him to give me an excellent review. Don't listen to him if he says otherwise.
