Less Groundwork, More Soul: AI Character Animation for Games
11:00 AM PST (60min)

Less Groundwork, More Soul: AI Character Animation for Games

Great games live and die by how characters move. Every chase, jump, and combat beat must feel true to the character in your hands. Creating that motion takes time - and well, time is always in short supply. MotionMaker, Maya’s AI-powered motion generation system, creates a first pass of character motion in seconds, so you can spend more time where it matters: shaping performance and story that players - and you - connect with. In this session, you’ll learn how to use MotionMaker in your game animation pipeline, what efficiency gains it brings, what’s next on the MotionMaker roadmap, and along the way, how AI doesn’t replace soul, but makes room for it.

Building a Production-Aware Editing Pipeline for Game Cinematics with Flow Production Tracking

In game cinematics, editing must feel fluid and precise — even when working inside a real-time engine.
