Does the book go into how to make characters share animations even if the rig is different or how to switch clothes for a rig? It'll still be amazing even if it doesn't, just something I'm struggling with currently!
Hello!! The book has several components for sharing animations through rigs. There's a section on doing it offline through Maya and the necessary steps to retarget from one skeleton to another. There's also an engine focused section on how to setup rigs to share animations. There is no modular clothing workflow however
The cover art features several nodes (Maya & Unreal) that connect into a central plinth that projects a character with a control rig attached to it. It's very technical animation. Rob did a fantastic job.

@@MattLakeTA Cool, thanks for the in depth reply! This seems like a grand book!
@@MarieBon541If you do pick it up I hope it's useful!
I've setup a tech animators focused discord server if you are interested: discord.gg/W33bV6eYnS

🥺🥺🥺 Bean thank you mate. It means everything ❤️
To be honest, the artwork of the cover does not represent anything from technical animation. Just a random picture.
