Description

As leading-edge games push the number of animations for a single agent into the thousands, significant challenges arise in allowing the AI to express themselves and give real performances in a physically constrained world. With this level of complexity, AI animation selection evolves into a new beast where AI, biomechanics, collision detection, and art become intertwined, resulting in significant engineering and artistic challenges. This lecture will examine these challenges and suggest strategies and architectures that can guide games into this rapidly evolving space.
