As above.
They will get shadows, contours and wont kill graphic cards.

And boost up the client size several hundred megabyte.

And? How much critters are we talking about? Stalkers and toads.
-
vorpal rats or what is their names
-
And later all player character variations...
Better buy a new computer.
-
Of course, if you can afford this.
Otherwise, let's suffer from crash, for only 2 critters.

Nope.
I expressed myself unclear - just the mobs should be rendered, the 3d can be reserved for the player customisation.
This way the performance can be saved.
-
If your computer can't take the low poly mobs, it won't be able to deal with the 3d player characters as well.
-
Thousands of lowpoly mobs make one highpoly Lagmob. And then also additional 3d player models.
I repeat: it is for the purpose of saving performance. Those who can't handle 3d, can get it optionally.
By the way, is it possible to make a 3d critter replacement mod clientside?
-
Everyone will use 3d models or nobody, we won't add some "chose your style"-option. The performance gain you suggest would be so small it isn't really worth talking about. Especially considering that human characters are all around and therefore will be a higher performance strain for you than the other mobs (they naturally have more polygons and also extra items attached to them. Helmets, armors, weapons, etc).
-
I get that 3d critters are easier to mod than frm ones, but almost crashing connexion is not a necessery step in implementing those critters.
I hope there would be some possibilities to lower the required space for these models, or to lower anything that cause client to get mad when it sees desertstalkers or toads.
