  2. That comes from the way reflections are done in MLL. There is a second model mimicking the actions of the first one.

    You can notice in Venice that while some guys are busy fishing, their reflections in the water are slacking off.

    My point was, I was standing directly behind the model sitting down, and there is no reflection or Artyom in the mirror...


    Did nobody else notice this?
     
  4. As I said, that's how the reflections are done. There is no model of Artyom present during the gameplay, thus no reflection.

    Pavel also is missing from the mirror as well, but yeah I noticed this too on my first run. Kinda sad I couldn't see Artyom, but no biggie.

    Hmm, That seems kinda daft.


    If your not going to make a model for artyom, why ever put the player in a position where he would be able to see a reflection?

    The real question is "Why waste resources designing and implementing a model, and then wasting memory on it, when the player will only ever see it maybe twice?"

    The shadow is not created from the model. Why? It doesnt react to reloads or when you crouch.

    Ok, FINE, it might still be his model, since it doesnt have to move....
    But Im pretty sure he doesnt have a model ^^
