The course will teach the secrets behind movement in 2D and 3D rendering. Among the course themes there are: double buffering, 3D coordinate systems, quaternions, interpolation techniques, kinematics, inverse kinematics, dynamics, hierarchical skeleton techniques. Physics based simulations, movement control, real time issues in animation for gaming and real time environments. Part of the course requirements is the development of an animation by the partecipants.
