Overview

The use of a visual scripting workflow has allowed game artists to implement game mechanics and interactivity without a high level coding workflow. The creation of sophisticated animation, simulation and interactivity is now in reach of artists and designers. Students will create a variety of user interface and interactive elements … For more content click the Read More button below.
