With the performance problem (if there's any), i think you only have to slightly reduce just a little bit of poly count, like 4 pony tails and the face, decrease down the texture by half so it's not a waste of process memory because in normal game, there's no way we can zoom up close like the first pic in your 1st post to see how detail the texture is. well so far no performance problem. Ive played replays with this model and it runs perfectly fine. The poly count has been reduced from the original zealot portrait, so its not very heavy at all, the texture however is twice the size of the original zealot texture so i WILL reduce that by half since as you have pointed out, zooming in that far isn't possible in real games. It will still look really good i think. | ||

Seriously someone could make an entirely new race cosmetically that would just function like, say, terran practically? My head just exploded | ||

That'd be awesome :D It even works in ladder games? Seriously someone could make an entirely new race cosmetically that would just function like, say, terran practically? My head just exploded Thats pretty much correct. Now idk 100 percent if this will work in ladder. I have no idea if battlenet will check the model files and see that they are different and then the game would crash for me for example. That being said, i've ran replays and the new model works in the game. So when beta comes back I will see whether it works through battlenet. | ||

You should try posting that on the official forums and see if you can get a solid answer. Would be lame if they say its against ToS or something and start banning ppl. | ||

If all the units had that level of detail then there would be a significant performance hit for little cosmetic gain. Well so far there is NO performance gain, and the head really isn't high poly at all. It's almost all the textures that make it look that good. Anyways, i don't think every unit should get this, i just thought the zealot head looked way off from what it was supposed to be. | ||

But i probably should. I think i might just do that | ||
