The potential on the Framework MT engine is best expressed by Resident Evil 5's cut-scenes. Aside from the intro movie, every single cinematic in the game is fully rendered by the game itself in real time. Here, where Capcom has full control of the camera, we see effects being manually turned on and off and tweaked according to the director's taste. Chris, Sheva, and the other main characters are displayed with greater detail (higher-polygon 3D models, definitely on facial features) and more effects - different shadowing models are used according to the effect the director is going for, and also with an eye on performance. Superior depth-of-field effects are in evidence, along with additional post-processing parses such as a noise filter.
It's quite amazing to think that the same engine is capable of visuals that are so much better than the in-game graphics. It seems to be the case that three detail levels are available to Capcom - close-ups on the characters see the introduction of more detailed models with additional animation points. There's a 'mid-way' detail level with less complex animation and shadow effects and finally there's the usual game engine setting.
