You can trick the game into rendering more by messing with camerastyle.2da but even this is limited.

Editing the .vis and .lyt file of a game area could solve some of these "problems'. Within both these files the game gets info on what parts of the whole area need to be rendered. Both files contain basicly a list of the differant rooms an area is made of. Plus each room gets a list of its own, saying what needs to be rendered if the player is within said room.
example of how it looks.
Code:
RoomA 3
RoomB
RoomC
Sky
RoomB 3
RoomA
RoomC
Sky
RoomC 4
RoomB
RoomD
RoomE
Sky
Though, you might still have problems regarding the rendering of creatures, placeables etc... I believe these are depended on other settings, propebly hardcoded.
Nice find though, it certainly will help the modding community. It beats the sluggish slow work of compiling and puzzling stuff together in 3Ds Max.
