Lead animator Tobias Dahl said he ”started looking into the sport games” because of their accomplishments; animation ”drives their games”. It’s called ANT.
”Quite naturally, I started looking into the sport games because what they have is animation — that’s what drives their games,” said Dahl, ”and it looks pretty good, I’d say.” The internal EA tool is called ANT and it was developed 7 to 8 years ago by EA Sports.
It was a collaborative project between EA’s varying programmer divisions for the Madden and FIFA franchises, to get their players looking more natural and fluid. Battlefield 3 releases on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC later this year. See the new trailer below.
