Hi,
I understand how 3D video animation works in regards to rendering the animation (taking hundreds of thousands of pictures) but how does this work in games? Does everything that moves pre-rendered and just played upon certain triggers or does the cpu/gpu calculate/manipulate meshes on certain triggers? Sorry if this doesn't make sense but I have the feeling I'm going to end up with a bunch of animation files for each model, for each type of movement and depending on how large these files are, may render a mobile game I want to make impossible.
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
