Benchmark 1.1 New Feedback - Midlander M F4

Love the new benchmark across the board, love the changes on the lighting but I won't lie, when it comes to the face model itself, I think my character actually looks worse now.


Pictures taken at the exact same angle/zoom level between 6.58 retail and benchmark 1.1


Let's start with the worst offenders:
- all brow shapes got lower/angrier and my character now looks permanently angry no matter the shape picked

- bottom half of eyes are now completely different shape, quite visibly so

- iris size got smaller despiute the same setting being used on both times, this is perhaps the most distressing change


Minor but still troubling:

- lips got nerfed hard, the pursing on the upper lip and ends of the lips especially have a wildly different shape
- lipstick coverage has a different shape but the more troubling part is that it now makes the lips look pinched instead of complimenting them
- jaw & cheekbones less defined, babyface vibes

- the shape of the nose tip is less defined, but somehow the nose bridge got more prominent



Attached are screenshots.
TLDR my WOL went from "uncanny but gentle looking" to "pissed off 24/7" and I think the iris size + brow shapes are the worst reasons why.
