The Wwise Project Adventure

Another technique used sometimes at the content level is the separation of heel and toe variations. This adds further diversity through randomized combination and, if the content is designed appropriately, can exponentially increase the variations and further reduce the chance for repetition. By setting up a sequence container with a randomized Heel container (1) followed by a randomized Toe container (2), each step can be composed on-the-fly when a footstep is requested. Further memory savings may be possible if you're able to share heel or toe components between different surfaces. By working elementally with the techniques available within the Wwise authoring application, you can increase variation and reduce your memory footprint, which is a winning prospect for any development.
