Issue comes from snw_obj_zhm_whale_cube.dds not actually being a cubemap. Recomp has separate texture index arrays for each descriptor type to prevent undefined behavior but I guess original hardware handles it by using the first face for everything?

the whale now lowkey blends with the environments more so idk who is complaining about this even tho it is an enhancement compare to the old whale

well spotted, also, i suspect that the volumetric lighting isnt working correctly
