Interview with Lucas Walker on Game informer
Hold Fast co-founder Lucas Walker discusses the current project he is Art Directing for Ubisoft, "South Park - The Fractured But Whole"
“Those rigs sound insanely overcomplicated for the quality of animation that South Park has, lol. I mean, so many moving parts just in case they need something, but the actual animation is still just that sort of "bobbing up and down for walking" kinda basic stuff. Jeez louise. 10,000 pieces on those things is ridiculous. There are, like, 10k pieces of geometry in the Optimus Prime mesh they use for the Transformers movies. South Park; you crazy, but at least its nice to know that after several decades on the air, they've kept all their specialized little bits and pieces and the game isn't skimping on having them ready to go if they need them for animation."
