This book constitutes the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Motion in Games, held in Utrecht, The Netherlands, in November 2010.


The 30 revised full papers presented together with 9 revised poster papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on body simulation, learning movements, body control, motion planning, physically-based character control, crowds and formation, geometry, autonomous characters, navigation, motion synthesis, perception, real-time graphics, and posters.
