What animation type is you think more appropriate in Godot?

In your opinion, which way of animating Godot implements better - cutoff body parts animations, or just entire frame animations?

Frame animations are easier for me, but cutoff animations provides more control over the whole animation.

It's much easier to make cut-out animations feel smooth compared to frame-by-frame animations (since you'd need 60 FPS spritesheets to achieve perfect smoothness, possibly even more). You could also use a mix of both to get the best of both worlds, but this takes a lot of time and effort.

Either could work, depends on the style you want and your skill set.

Frame animations of imported artwork are much more flexible as you can make your character do whatever you want it to do - however, it is far, far more work if you want smooth animations, and you have to have good drawing and pixel editing skills.

If it’s just simple movements on a flat plane like running, jumping, climbing, shooting or slashing/jabbing a sword, animated cutouts are easier to do and smoother.

However, are you talking about performance when you say ‘implements better’? I haven’t had enough experience with Godot yet to answer that.
