A high-signal read built around kinematics, inverse kinematics, animation, skeletal. It feels current because it aligns with love, world, life, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the skeletal connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous.
