For "Kong: Skull Island", Industrial Light & Magic created a face-simulation model for Kong by applying a muscle-simulation framework that allowed for targeting facial shapes, ensuring that the simulations stayed on-model. This allowed simulation to be used as a powerful tool for adding realism to facial animation.

This talk presents three high-performance animation techniques from Gears of War 4: a "warp point"-driven system for dealing with character traversal through irregular environments, a novel post-process-based approach to handling motion transitions, and a fast heuristic for automatically matching locomotion foot phase between animations.

In this conservative, uniform method for handling scene constraints in a pose-based caching system, the constraints are organized into a special dependency graph for invalidating caches and updating rigs. The result is a seamless experience that works with all types of constraints while preserving real-time performance.
