A game's art style guide specifies that all characters should have a cel-shaded look with black outlines. During testing, a character's hair appears smooth and realistic, without outlines. What should the tester report as the most likely cause?

The character's shader is not set to the cel-shading shader, so it uses a standard PBR shader instead.

The character's color depth is too high, washing out the outlines.

The character's model has too many polygons, preventing cel-shading.

The character's texture resolution is too high, making the outlines invisible.

In an open-world game, the tester notices that distant mountains appear to pop in and out of view as the player moves. The mountains are large 3D models with high-resolution textures. Which graphic content feature is most likely misconfigured?

The texture resolution is too high, causing memory issues.

The models are using the wrong rendering technique, such as forward instead of deferred.

The level of detail (LOD) system is not switching to lower-detail models at the correct distances.

The color depth of the textures is too low, causing visual artifacts.

When assessing graphic content quality, what does 'visual fidelity' primarily refer to?

The frame rate at which the game runs

How closely the graphics match the intended realistic or stylized look

The number of polygons in a 3D model

The file size of the texture assets
