@LunaRyuko @jazzmickle Now the biggie... bounding spheres are used to calculate object culling. If you have a wide sphere the object gets included in the maths way more, even if it is technically hidden behind something else.

Fun fantasy film fact: Hassam in Sinbad and The Eye of The Tiger was played by Nadim Sawalha.
His daughter is Julia Sawalha of Ab Fab/Press Gang/Pride and Prejudice fame. Nadim also shows up in two bond films and Space 1999 among his 100 screen roles.
