Adding Life to Characters
Once the characters are in perfect three-dimensional shape, they are now considered digital marionette figures. Game programmers step in to breathe life into the characters by instructing the computer to move them. They employ all sorts of techniques to achieve this, depending on the kind of game and motion desired.

In a number of video games, the movements of a human actor are captured through a special suit of sensors to represent the control points of the character’s skeleton. Then, the movements can be mapped onto the character’s skeleton to create an ultra-realistic motion. Another aspect of modern video games is the environment where the characters operate. Both the characters and the environment are interactive or responsive to the gamers. Designers make full use of highly modern 3D programming tools to create and give life to characters.
