Viera graphic update complaint

ignore this please

You're 100% spot-on. There's an eleven page thread if you'd like to cross-post / make yourself known in it.

I agree, the nose looks pretty different. I made my own thread specifically about the lack of the lightened nose tip on the female Viera, but the general shape looking a bit... off on the updated version wasn't lost on me. It's weird. The graphical update shouldn't make the shape look different, but it does come off as flatter to me for some reason.

100% agreement here, I really don't see how so drastically adjusting the nose like that keeps in line with the goal of maintaining character fidelity. He focused so hard on warning people about that barely noticeable change to the Lalafell chin, but here we are now with our Viera losing pieces of what makes them distinct in the first place.

I 100% agree the shape looks different. Now it COULD maaaybe just be the textures/lighting, but regardless if it's the model itself, why are they changing how our warriors of light look? That isn't even close to the nose I picked and have had for years.... :<

Yeah it's more glossy compared to before but it's definitely still there. It is a little odd though, because they specifically chose the darker skin to show that details in the face would be more visible than before, but the nose highlight is much less visible on dark skin on the new model.

Ideally there'd be an intensity toggle for it, but I don't know how feasible that is.

If you zoom in on the nose.. YOU can SEE it
It's just that the colour is way darker than before
-> So it blends in with skin colour..

Still they need make it more visible <.<

That's right - the shape of the nose is different, to make it look similar, they painted it white from below. The old screenshot clearly shows that it is completely different: it is more flattened on top and wider, so the face will change significantly.
