Here’s the comprehensive procedure of creating an in-game character: By Zynga’s Shyam Deshpande and Arnab Roy

Animation has the power to bring things to life which are barely possible in other visual mediums. It can be fantasy or reality, the freedom is all yours when you choose to conceptualise and create a character. At Anifest India 2016, a talented duo from Zynga’s portrayed how an animated character is conceptualised, sketched and modelled to perfection through digital means.
