When an FPS game player can look down on the character shehe plays
I seek help in finding a term common in game development, particularly 3D First Person Shooter games (not at all in 2.5D games such as Doom).

I understand that 3D first person shooter games can be divided into two kinds:

* Those in which looking down from the character could show the clothes-covered hands area, the belly area, groin area and legs and feet area (and weapon/s if available)
* Those in which this doesn't occur

What are the terms to describe these defined states in 3D FPS games? I would like to read about it.
