Benchmark/Graphics Update - Show your WoL's before and after

Another Au Ra player checking in with her dissatisfaction on the new lip shape(s). For me with Face 3, Mouth 3, the top lip shape has clearly changed to be more flat. And my bottom lip is less full too. I think weirdly, Au Ra face 4 has the opposite problem where their bottom lip got more full on at least one of the mouths?





I'm seeing this with other peoples' face/lip combos too... I think I noticed some Viera and other Au Ra lips lose their curvature in the same way. I understand that I can't objectively say they're worse, but it's definitely changing things when they said they wouldn't. For me, the lip curves are a big charm point, so this is very disappointing and I hope the devs will reconsider. My nose shape changed a little too (Face 3, Nose 2), and like many others have mentioned, the glossiness of the lips have faded.

What adds to my confusion is that the lip curves do still exist on other races in the benchmark... like Highlander Face 2, Mouth 4 pictured below:

So it's not a matter of technical limitation or homogenizing lip shapes...

Thanks so much for this post, this clearly shows the issue. I am very sad about my fem Viera's lips. They are not the same, and I miss their plumpness, shine and shape. T_T

This is the biggest disappointment on my face 3 female Au Ra. I don't like her eye color being so different, but that I can adjust. I can't adjust her lips shape. I use lips 2 and they are, just like seen here, noticeably smaller, look blurrier, and the top lip has been completely flattened on the bottom, and the bottom lip is smaller and less full. Her lips were a big part of why I chose face 3! They are such a charm point on her!! They told us they wanted to make sure our characters still looked like the WoLs we've come to know and love, so why change something like this? It's a completely needless change that no one wanted or asked for.
