I aggre but the rendering restriction can be surpassed using garrysmod scripting or even e2 for thouse who play garrysmod, aside from that it is also possable using the sdk, all you need to do is render a small version of the model on the interface that is scaled based on its depth. i aggre with the restrictions but even the speed limit can be surpassed (using a clever bit of scripting).
