Here is something for the animators and Game Dev readers on this blog. At the recent GDC2008, Square-Enix held a technical session on the development of custom tools to address need of unifying the production pipeline for creating HD content.
Previously the dubbed the “White Engine” it was renamed to “Crystal Tools”. He explained how the toolset was used to created the visuals for FINAL FANTASY XIII and FINAL FANTASY versus XIII. The Crystal Tools consist of libraries for making games on targeted multiple platforms ie. PS3, PC XBOX360 etc.
4Gamer.net has managed to take some pictures of the slide presentation. If given a chance I personally would like to work at Square-Enix to try out the software and maybe work on the next Final Fantasy Game.
