Shade and reflection models.

Thank you for this confirmation. I have met similar situation in other game where models were only for shade (if envoked) or reflection ( again if that option was on).

I wanted to confirm that and also make sure that the game will function if those lower models are not present .I guess the answer is YES but you wont see the shadow or reflection.

But this bring me to other issue which is LOD (level of detail). Does this mean that the game uses just 1, in most cases, very high polycount model? Does this mean that even at the distance the game diplays the model at full detail and what about mip maps ? Are there any here?
