| Khuutra said: Nintendo is often more about using tricks than legitimately crazy tech. One of my favorite examples of these tricks is Mario's hands in Super Mario Galaxy. When he closes his hand into a fist, it looks like his fingers are casting shadows on his palm. But they're not. Nintendo just made a separate texture that applies when Mario's making a fist. I always like learning about that kind of thing |
What are the benefits of using graphic "tricks"? (If there are any.)
Edit: That is pretty interesting though.
