The discussion of light/Color and gamma is extremely helpful as is information about character center of gravity. These are only a couple of topics in a book of almost encyclopedic coverage of all aspects of the physical world; written in an easy to understand style with lots of helpful background info about things that animators would find useful in their every day world of making things move in believeable ways.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Thorough; but an easy read anywayBy Anatoly TemkinWonderful book that covers a lot of ground! The section on forces and gravity is particularly thorough; for calculating keyframes for falling objects; slow-ins and slow-outs; jump cycles; thrown objects that wobble as they fly; fight scenes; etc. Itrsquo;s still a pretty easy read anywaymdash;the author has managed to explain some pretty complex subjects in simple language. I particularly liked the tips for helping one figure out why a scene looks wrong even when you canrsquo;t quite put your finger on it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
