Here are some key features of Spine 2D animation software that stand out: Meshes - Instead of drawing rectangles, meshes help you specify a polygon inside your image. This improves the fill rate because pixels outside the polygon won't be drawn. This is an important aspect for mobile games.

Because the model has a huge number of polygons and we have to play at 60 frames per second. There are often thousands or even tens of thousands of polygons that go into a fully rendered model. With thousands of polygons potentially colliding, that can easily mean millions of collision checks every frame.
