claymation as a metaphor for pixel art style

This struck me on May the 4th, once we got bored with the original trilogy and started watching robot chicken star wars.

I've been afraid of getting into 3D with godot, but am recently coming around to taking it on. Mostly it seems like it'll be quite complicated in a way that I just don't want to deal with.

But claymation animators (claynimators?) have so much less and do just everything. Or they have software that mocks it.

I wonder how I could approach a game/rendering in the way that claymation works.

Feels like a metaphor for pixel art in a way. In the sense that both are a style, at least.
