DESCRIPTION: Reinvent Rayman?! This was the challenge Michel Ancel and his team at Ubisoft Montpellier set for themselves fifteen years after the limbless platforming hero first bounded into video game history. Anais Dusautois and Eric Verwaerde, two of the exceptional animators on Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends, will bring this developer's adventure to life from behind the scenes. This talk will cover the creation of innovative tools which were designed specifically to put artists at the heart of the development process, the team's unusual organization and methodology, plus the eventual "French touch" that helped bring back one of video game's legends in high style!
TAKEAWAY: Attendees will discover how the animation team proceeded, from the creation of a character, to the final animation in the Ubi-Art Framework Animation tool, and the special touch of the Montpellier team's spirit!

INTENDED AUDIENCE: Animators, artists, and everyone who is interested in Rayman's universe, the new Ubi-Art Framework Animation tool, and how it succeeds to transcribe the artist's vision into a video game.
ELIGIBLE PASSES: All Access Pass, Main Conference Pass
