Each image part was converted to mesh. The USP of Spine animation software is how smoothly it converts an image part to mesh. In each mesh vertices are placed to define how we want to move the character. Bones are created to help the mesh move and provide fine-tuned control. It is these vertices which can be moved.

Digital sculpting software, however, uses an extremely high-resolution polygon mesh (or a voxel grid). This mesh can be modeled like traditional clay with a vast array of tools, giving modelers more freedom and flexibility in their work. This process is called retopology and represents an industry of its own.
