Reply to comment by ubcsestudent in ELI5 How do MMORPG Games have the same armour models fit all characters when the heights and models differentiates a lot ? by ErieeKo

yea i guess, i thought maybe tho the pixels will get all distorted and weird looking tho if just directly scaled

The base size for the asset is probably the biggest version. Expanding an image is harder to retain quality than shrinking an image. My assumption is that the same thing applies to this.

You're not wrong that pixels can get distorted, but the distortion when scaling down is very minor.
