Meeting C++ is hosting an interview with the author of "Mastering C++ Game Animation Programming" - Michael Dunsky.

About the Author
Michael Dunsky is an educated electronics technician, game developer, and console porting programmer with more than 20 years of programming experience. He started programming BASIC at the age of 14, adding Assembly language, C, C++, Java, Python, VHDL, OpenGL, GLSL, and Vulkan to his portfolio during the years. Michael also gained extensive knowledge in virtual machines, server operation, infrastructure automation, and other DevOps topics.
Michael holds a Master of Science degree in Computer Science from the FernUniversität in Hagen, focused on computer graphics, parallel programming and software systems.

Develop a compact game-engine-like animation application in C++ using OpenGL 4 or Vulkan while learning advanced animation techniques step-by-step through hands-on implementation in this part-color guide
Authors Note
If you've already read my first book, 'C++ Game Animation Programming,' and want to deepen your skills, this book is the next step. It’s designed for developers who are ready to dive into advanced animation techniques and bring fully immersive worlds to life.
Key Features

Learn how to build a game-engine-like skeleton application with modern graphics API

Gain insights into compute shaders, visual selection, UI creation and visual programming, configuration file handling, collision detection, behavior controls, and more

Create your own virtual world with naturally acting inhabitants

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description
With two decades of programming experience across multiple languages and platforms, expert game developer and console porting programmer, Michael Dunsky will guide you through the intricacies of character animation programming. to tackle common challenges developers face in creating sophisticated, efficient, and visually appealing character animations.
It shows you how to use the Open Asset Import Library for easy 3D model loading and explore a 3D engine by optimization by offloading computations from the CPU to the GPU. You’ll learn how to implement visual selection and extended camera handling techniques, as well as separating your application into edit and simulation modes. You’ll understand how to store configurations to continue building your virtual world piece by piece. As you work on creating an engine-like application, covering collision detection and inverse kinematics, you’ll discover how to bring your character to life with realistic visuals and fluid movement. For more advanced animation and character behavior controls, you’ll craft truly immersive and responsive NPCs, load real game maps, and use navigation algorithms to roam freely in complex environments.
By the end of the book, you’ll be skilled at designing own interactive virtual worlds inhabited by lifelike NPCs that exhibit natural, context-aware behaviors.
What you will learn

Understand the basics of the Open Asset Import Library

Animate thousands of game characters

Extend ImGui with more advanced control types

Implement simple configuration file handling

Explore collision detection between 3D models and world objects

Combine inverse kinematics and collision detection

Work with state machines, behavior trees, and interaction

Implement navigation in unknown terrain

Who this book is for
This book is for experienced C++ developers, game programmers, and character animators who already have a basic knowledge of character animation but are curious to learn more. The book assumes advanced C++ knowledge and is ideal for those eager to delve into advanced animation techniques and create interactive virtual worlds.

We'll start at 17:00 (5:00PM) CEST.
