why does Bianca look like that in the yotd prototype? (see avatar) did Insomniac do that on purpose for the lolz or is it a game building texture thing? early game builds really interest me but i currently don't have the resources to learn it myself

The textures didn't load correctly. In a lot of old games the eyes are not attached to the face, they are transparent floating images on top.

Another element is vertex shading, it's more complex to explain but you can learn more in the link below.

thank you so much, o wise dragon

Damn, that's horrifying. It's crazy how games used to be made, and the work arounds the makers did to make things work with their limited resources.

Oooo fascinating
