And also considerably more fun. Go make block-outs - I do it for VFX when the VFX is supposed to be on a thing. Like a spaceship!
Still don’t get the people who think this kind of tech is somehow forward facing when you need tens of thousands of hours of footage of a game from 1996 to pull just this off.

not joking they literally do that
