Re: Maybe floaty limbs are easier to render

In Response To: Maybe floaty limbs are easier to render (scarab)

: They don't have to calculate how to stretch the material around the joints to
: meet up with the limbs parts on either side of the joint.

: They save the work if they just have solid, unchanging 'bones' with no joints
: between.

Games have been doing that for 20 years though, it would be incredibly lazy to fall back now to what amounts to 3D stick figure animation.

Overall, at least these guys make more sense from a lore perspective, and they don't literally have screaming skulls (I mean honestly what the fuck is this, Castlevania?).
