🧵 COD 2 Weapon Textures
Anonymous at Sun, 18 Sep 2022 09:23:09 UTC No. 918643
Can someone explain how weapon textures from cod 2 looked low res and high res at the same time? Like the general look of it is low res but if you look closely you can see sharp details (especially noticeable on the steel part)

Differences in texel densities, I think

why would they want to have inconsistent texel densities?

They didn't want to, they had to for performance reasons. All the detail went in the weapons, hands and faces, rest of the body got a lower resolution.
But in this case it might not even be a different texel resolution, its just the distance to camera.
Its his thumb in the foreground and it has the same resolution as the other one, its just too close to the camera.

it's called a bump map, you think too much about just try to have something that doesn't suck and actually work
