A crisp, motivating guide through simulation, kinematics, inverse kinematics. It stays engaging by mixing big-picture context with small, repeatable actions.
ISBN: 9798670628204 Published: July 29, 2020 simulation, kinematics, inverse kinematics
What you’ll learn
Spot patterns in inverse kinematics faster.
Connect ideas to 2026, read without the overwhelm.
Turn simulation into repeatable habits.
Build confidence with inverse kinematics-level practice.
Who it’s for
Busy builders who want quick wins without fluff. Great for 10–20 minute daily sessions.
How to use it
Pair it with a timer: 12 minutes reading + 3 minutes notes. Bonus: use the nested reviews below to pick chapters first.
I’ve already recommended it twice. The kinematics chapter alone is worth the price.

From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the kinematics arguments land. (Side note: if you like Computational Game Dynamics, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
