Dragon Age: Origins - Big battle graphics trick revealed

Video show typical "change 3D to blurry 2D because no one can tell the difference" for distant details.

However, this big battle is just a bunch of animated 2D-images scattered all over the place. This type of graphics are also know as sprite graphics which was very common in 80s and 90s when true 3D was mostly too heavy task for home computers.

@Vitapantern You sure because 1000 of 3d figures equals... alot of meshes lol...

[Bbgood299]

Lol if you didn't know that it was 2d on the first look than there is something wrong with you and adding hundreds of 3d figures could make even some of the best computers crash
