Remember the cloud/ kadaj battle? too damn fast and clumsy looking.. So many moves are ommitted. almost as if there's no life to it.... Sure the shining swords and the rest of the superb graphics made up for it, but still....  |
I'd say that was a side-effect of their animation style more than just the fact that it is 3d CG. A large portion of battles and stuff you see in live-action movies is pure CG and often times you never even notice. CG can do anything and look as good as anything if enough time is put into it. There are no limitations on animation style, quality, or anything. If they can't use motion capture for something then they just switch to key-frame animation...no problem. Even the perspective and proportion effects you are talking about can be easily simulated.
Ok, I'm going off into a corner to dream about 3d Claymore now tyvm
