ILM Force Awakens CG ship renders. ULTRA high res.

Anyone else notice that the texture maps on the X-Wing are mirrored? What a cop out, come on ILM! Love the ships and loved the movie even more regardless though. :)

It makes financial sense. You don't want to have to pay a texture artist to do the other side once you've finished one of them. You never really see the CG X-wings in a "hero" close up. Anytime you see them, they are zipping by with heavy motion blur, and in the film's finale in a pretty dark environment where it's hard to see detail.
 
I understand the cost cutting. However the same could be said about the some details on the old ILM physical models, but the artists added them anyway. :)
 
There were some medium res Battlefront Falcon renders that appeared recently, did high-res TFA Falcon orthos ever appear?
 
I only have an small magnifier, then if you press the image opens to 2,025px × 2,344px. Is that the ULTRA high definition? Thanks!
