She definitely looks bad on the right. Lips changed, colors washed out, her skin looks jaundiced... :/Quote:

But please, pop off and shout to everyone about how you have no attention to detail or are face blind.
Fortunately, SE seems to agree with the people who are giving feedback and are making changes to accomodate this. If not all changes are made, I'm sure people will continue to give feedback even after the next benchmark and that feedback will be taken into consideration for more improvements into the future. If you are unhappy with some elements of the graphical update, I encourage you to make it known. -

From the aura thread, to add to the compilation here.

More rare face 3 here. I think aura is one of the less worse hit in general, but my character is unrecognizable.
- Hair looks worse, no shine and stringy
- Scales are now grey'ish hue instead of warmer color
- Eye shape is changed, she looks more stern than friendly
- Mouth, as everyone else butchered
- The nose is close enough that I can write it of to light issues
- My round face, which is cute on original now looks chubby
I do not understand why they have to change the look of some races so completely, that you cannot recognize your own char. It makes me sad. -

Feedback for Midlander Male face 5
The face gives off a very different "vibe" mainly due to the changes made to the eyes.
I made an edit for fun, I don't think it's perfect but it helps giving back some of that lost "vibe."
OPTIONS:
Eye Shape - 6
Mouth - 1
Jaw - 2
Nose - 1
Eyebrows - 2
Normal Iris
ANALYSIS:- Eyes are more slanted and narrow, more "almond" shaped.
- The inner corner is longer and pointy, the lower part less angular, eyebags have a more harsh line that accentuates the "almond" shape.
- There is also a very defined black eyeliner around the entire eye now, which accentuates the changes made to the eyeshape even more.
- Eyebrow definition has been toned down (in an attempt to look more "natural"?)
- Lips have been filled in, as a result the shape has changed.

My Moon Miqo'te has face 2 and I just love her design... but they changed so much... (I do have major issues with changes and changing the appearance of your main character you spent HOURS looking at..)
Especially my cat-eyes are now rounded and they added eyeliner.. also she looked cute but cool before and turned into a young Barbie T_T
I am so scared.... why didn't they just upgraded graphics like it was told?
Why changing parts of the face?? Oh yeah and not to forget our beloved fangs T_T
But the part that I dislike the most is changing the cat-eyes and making them round and adding more makeup

Keeper of the Moon
Face 2
Eyes 6
I just don't understand why they changed it.. if they could've just added new face types instead.. T_T -

Just adding to the compilation, but my sister uses midlander face 6 and the skin texture seems to be really rough, almost like leather and looks really pixelated going through the benchmark trailer/cutscenes itself.
We didn't notice the issue when creating the character. Just when we got to the actual benchmark.

We thought it might have been an issue on our end, but we had a friend recreate the character, and it had the same look.
I don't know if it's one of the issues being looked into or not, but just wanted to post, since I don't see many posts about this face and so it's not looked over.
Regardless, thank you for all the hard work! -

I posted a comparison of my character in the "Viera Changes" thread, but since most non-viera players are probably not going to see what's being posted in there I'll add it here as well.

The pictures speak for themselves, really. Doesn't look like the same character at all. -
05-03-2024, 05:50 AMLuciaMirainOh no I have the same face on my alt but I hadnt actually looked at her properly since I was so focused on my viera. But...it looks loike they changed her to a face 1??Quote:
