    With company making hybrid model plug in for unity. Any anime fan is excited for the possibility?

    hybrid model - the face is fully 2d, while body is 3d

    Forgive me for my ignorance, but uhmmm, what's the point?
    Why not make the entire thing 3d LOL? Why just a body but not a face?

    There are many reasons to use a 2d head. One I could think of off the top of my head is the amount of bones needed to rig a face. It will just be too much for a character that isn't a main character. Ex: A basketball game could have a bunch of cheering fans with 2d faces that open their mouths to cheer.
