Ozymandis said:Question : Are the models in the Encyclopedia actually the same as what you see in game?
Yes, I believe so.
of course there are LOD systems going on.... there would be NO point in keeping the HI-res model if it's 2 miles away and all u see on screen is a bunch of pixels trying to get the picture right..... *fur* would be the first thing to go for example.... then the additional texture layers and polys, i mean u don't see the detail in a model thats very far from the camera, especially at the resolution the game plays at...
