Think of it as a friendly deep-dive into kinematics, inverse kinematics, animation, skeletal—with enough structure to skim and enough depth to grow into.
The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the skeletal connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like Kinematics and Dynamics, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
