Implementation
Character creation is fun. Hard, but fun. Undoubtedly in the previous chapters
you've seen how exciting (but challenging) it is to see a character come together
and come alive with appropriate UV mapping and carefully constructed textures.
Of course, up to now, all we have is a nicely painted mannequin that, though
interesting to look at, is still, well . . . dead.
In this chapter this will change. It's time to get this character ready to come
alive. The process of bringing a textured character to life is fun but can be a
little bit tricky. However, with a bit of care, there is nothing quite like a lifelike
character moving in a scene to help immerse a player into the game.
