    Well there's one edge case for video games where you care about only one angles. Sidescrolling games. I'm actually glad more games are taking advantage of this (the latest to date being Mario Wonder but a few have done it before like Guilty Gear Xrd/Strive) because it shows the power of traditional 2D animation for 3D. It can't be applied to all games sure, but I think this will quickly become a cornerstone to making good looking sidescrolling 3D animations !

    Been using this recently and it's a really handy tool, but the one downside is that it starts becoming very laggy after using it for a while. Even if you reduce the frame length to the bare minimum it'll still make Blender run very slow if you used motion paths elsewhere.
