They actually don't look that much more detailed than in 5. And they still have the clump of polygons hair. It actually looks worse than 5 in that respect.

The skin, however, looks pretty good.

Look at Jin's hair in the first two pics. That's a bit more than a clump of polygons.

Also, look at how much musclel definition the guy in the last pic has! Same with Bryan! Do you have any idea how many polygons that must be?


No way is that made of polygons - that's definitely normal mapping.


You have two things wrong.

1. Every 3D object in polygon-based graphics is made of polygons. That's what the name implies.

2. Normal mapping does not exclude polygons. It's merely one of the effects laid over polygons to give the textures more depth.

So my comment still stands, which is not hair made of polygons, but hair looking more like the older way of rendering hair, than the more recent ones.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
