but even in the rest of the PT, yoda's clothes have almost no detail.  look at the picture above and see all the textures and then compare to PT. 

On the other hand, compare the motion of the OT Yoda and PT Yoda. One is not overall better than the other. It all depends of the purpose.

 not counting the often silly action sequences, maybe so.  but the idea behind cgi was not just animation but photorealism on top of it.  we kept being told that the breakthrough with cgi was that photo-realistic objects can be created.   remember that scene in TPM with captain tarpals saying 'your honor - queen amidala of the naboo' ? i don't think we ever saw that with yoda - except maybe in ROTS when he was on tantive IV talking with obi wan and bail organa.  Poggle the Lesser in AOTC was better designed.
