>>41089901The fact there are somehow more verticies yet the same number of triangles is fucking baffling. Normal subdivision adds new verticies to the model and uses them to make alot more smaller tris out of it to give a more smooth appearance. The fact that no additional tris were added from the massive vert spike either means the model reading OP posted is fucked up or they literally forgot to do the actual tri dividing part of subdivision.
A model with more verts but no additional tries is the EXACT same thing as the original model, no face displacement or splitting is added. All this has done is increase the filesize of the model.
I am fucking obfuscated.
