Great changes overall, but I feel like the brown shades go a little away from a warm and more towards a colder shade?

That's one of the first things i noticed as well. I think it's 'cause they chose a very white shine maybe?

its sad that the bunny nose is less noticable :<

Really happy they seemed to take the feedback to heart - and nice confirmation that they're listening! I'm generally really pleased! I have a grumble and that's the noses; particularly the nostrils, seem a little muddy and poorly defined. The Viera noses are missing the cute little lighter patch at the tip as well. Super promising overall tho!!

I'm not surprised that room temperature IQ people think not wanting your character to blend into the background during cutscenes = woke agenda.

You're right! This needs to be adressed! It's almost invisible in the new nose.

I think the nose thing might be addressed since the male bunny got more obvious bun nose as well!

Also while I'm happy about the update so far, I think some of the shine to the more natural skin colors seems a bit stark and like it washes out the colors. I hope its just because of they lighting they used though and it is something that can happen quickly, even when drawing.
I am super happy they read the comments about us not being able to see our own characters in dark environs and brought that up during the stream!!

There's this figurine-kind of look on the edges at the noses and ears that feels quite off for me. Likely the softening and changing how the lights hits the skin makes it a bit weird.

Hopefully it's just something you spot when you are very close at light sources and not a overall thing.

Came here about this! I noticed a lot of the dark-skinned characters generally look very shiny and oily in comparison to before, colors are generally desaturated, and tattoo colors seem to show darker than before. I also looked a little closer and noticed the shadows for the faces were lighter than before, which doesn't help the doll-like appearance a lot of fem models have or the less-rugged look for more angular models such as highlanders and masc auri.

I do like some of the upscales, though, like the hair textures and scale definition! Though I am wondering why the masc raen scales turned brown...
