Were this to go in a game, wouldn't this cause it to lag moreso than a texture though? Don't get me wrong, i prefer it this way, but isn't it easier on a computer or console's processor if it's a simpler shape with a texture and ray-tracing effects? Just curious.

Anyway, that's a great way to create detail quickly, I'll have to remember that.

Very much so. This model is created using almost the opposite of the approach one would take for game models.

It's a shame games can't handle that level of detail. It would definitely add to the realistic factor of the game.
