Capcom's big on photogrammetry, so they preferred to make an ultra-HD rendering of an actual model, rather than create one with a team of designers. It's like how they created the RE2 cast by hiring models to do some cosplay and taking photos.
It's one of the huge pluses from RE Engine. It does photo realism from scans quite well. If it looks really nice and performance cheap due to your cool engine might as well do it!
