When the developers told us that they had to change quite a bit on the character models to pump out gear designs faster, I have to admit confusion.

Anyone who bought the original Collector's Edition of the game probably watched that included "the making of" DVD and realized they had a system in place that could automatically deform the character model/gear mesh at it's contact points.

If I remember correctly, the designer at the time claimed that this system allowed them to make gear faster because it did most of the work for them. What ever happened to that?

To answer my own question or guess at it, I would suppose that when they threw aside Crystal Tools they had to scrap that system as well and implement an entirely new one that requires everything be done by hand.


I have some pictures/videos of people pulling off some really interesting looks using armor/cloth/leather together and I never saw clipping in that game except for when their physics system was on the fritz (It would freeze anything that could move in an unmovable state).
