Do the new item models for uniques & sets appear on my Resurrected character?

Yes. This is one of the few changes from the original - equipping an item with unique/set icon art will now also show on your character. Before it could just show a default graphic on your character sprite.

The 3D model of the unique maul here matches its icon artwork.

It will be the same model that you see on those icons.

Watch the character model as

Coif of Glory is equipped.

The only difference we did is with the icon items - now we have a more connected visual with the icon and item that drops in the game (or seen on character) whereas before you had different visuals. That's the only thing we pushed on for modernisation.

Necromancer wearing Trang'Ouls or Wall of Skulls?

I think this might actually be a point of contention for some people. Personally I'm very happy with this change as we get to see in greater detail what the original artists were going for (remember they have exact source models to work from, not just sprites).
