Abstract:
We present an overview of our curve rigging toolset and its development process, serving as a case study to discuss challenges specific to software development for animated feature film production. We will show how our R&D projects lean on agile software practices to enable ambitious development projects, with flexible plans that adapt to the reality of working with creative takeholders. We will highlight the importance of production engagement, reflect on our technical decisions made over a year of active development while reacting to drastic production schedule changes, and share lessons learned along the way.
