* [http://nosycrow.com/blog/making-the-three-little-pigs-app-qa-with-illustrator-animator-ed-bryan Interview with Edward Bryan], the illustrator for The Three Little Pigs app.
** Screen shots of the character and background drawings in Maya.
** The drawings are contained in wireframes to control the animation. 
** He alludes to a "proprietary 3D engine" to use the Maya animation in the app. 

Apparently the emphasis in game design is on short loops that can be used in different contexts. (See this video, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B1rLoJZa0k Maya Trax Editor Tutorial], which alludes to this workflow.)
