Each drawing layer has its own parent peg, which should be used for animating the layer.

Each body part of the character that you want to animate independently is on its own drawing layer.

When creating your character rig's structure, you should use a simple peg-layer hierarchy, which means: Also, some users may want to download your game over a mobile data network with costly data charges.

If you are working on a console or PC game, you have a lot of leeway for both, as they often have high performance video cards and a lot of storage space.
