This results in fully half of the sensors on each person simply vanishing from the view of the software.

But when two actors wearing mocap suits hug, their bodies are pressed against one another…and so are the sensors.

Oud says that because Aloy is a hugger, Guerrilla’s gotten used to the extreme challenge required to get all these hugs to happen.and recently, it’s made some technical strides in the field of video game hugs. So how is Guerrilla pulling off this technical feat? I spoke with Guerrilla studio animation director Richard Oud, who admitted he was pleasantly surprised that anyone was noticing how impressive this was. And yet, Guerrilla has been making Aloy warmly hug her friends since Zero Dawn. Turns out, it’s very, very hard for developers to make this happen while making it look normal and believable. He was echoed in the replies by numerous other developers and fans, all of whom were struck by the realization of why we so rarely see two characters hugging one another in games.
