Higher-Poly Models

[AHadley]

Has anybody actually made any higher-poly versions of stock models for BZ2 yet?

[Sarge125]

Not that I know of. I'm sure someone will eventually.

doubt anyone will lol... seems like a waste of time unless you are going to re-make the textures in 1024x1024 as well...

[General BlackDragon]

I have somebody working on textures  

They're pretty good. Better then what I could make in photoshop.

Better textures won't cause bad assets. Better models would.

Tell youre friend to make them in either 2048x2048 or 1024x1024.

GSH - if higher polygon models were made, and there was a unanimous decision that they were far better, would stock include them?

If not, i call dibs on a hi-res texture pack for the expansion pack

Two words: recycler variant.

That way, it's a choice.

yeh good point... didnt think about rec variants...

Yes. I for one, do not think higher polygon recreations of stock models is a great idea. By all means add new stuff with higher polygon models, but replacing the Iconic original artwork would be...an Abomination!
