Displaying the inventory
The final step in using an inventory is to display it to the player. This is done on the
GUI with icons, images, or with the 3D model. The icon can either be a scaled down
image of the item, or it can be a silhouette of the item to represent it. An example
showing the 3D model of the item can be seen in
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
, where
the player can select the item in their inventory and interact with the 3D model to look
at it.
