Digital Tutors - Animating In Game Biped Characters in Maya

Throughout these lessons we?ll learn how to animate in-game locomotion animations for biped

characters. We?ll look at the mechanics of using Maya 2014 as a sketching tool for designing

the animations.

Functions we?ll address are the graph editor, key frames, in-betweens and breakdowns as well

as basic functionality of animation layers. Animations we?ll focus on include idle, run,

jump, attack, hit-reaction, death, celebration and deselect-idle animations. By the end of

this tutorial you will have a deeper understanding of how to animate an in-game biped

character using Maya.
