Historical evidence — not current gameplay

Two useful comparisons.

These two actual-engine contact sheets explain how the illustrated direction developed. They predate the wall-flicker fix. They are preserved for comparison, not presented as today's visual quality.

Historical original and illustrated treatments using shared geometry
Shared geometry exposed the earlier comparison's confounding changes in form and shading.
Historical normal-camera benchmark comparison
The small painted benchmark established the current material and character direction.

Older clips and repeated screenshots remain in Git history. Measurements, decisions, bug evidence and all playable historical scenes remain in the current repository.
