Viera Changes

[EriShvakh]

I'm overall happy with my face 4. Skin looks fine in benchmark itself, face geometry is almost 1:1, except a little rounder nose if you look from the side.
Lips are worse, yeah. Hopefully they will fix that. And raven black hair is now grey even in benchmark itself, that's probably my biggest complaint so far.

Hmm I dont think it looks "fine". THe one to the right looks pretty washed out, hair and skin lost its colors and contrast. Entire face looks bloated up compared to original. Also eyes lost its "spark" - no more piercing glance typical for Vieras. Also playing dark skinned viera, and got simillar results than you

And no amount of Fantasia editing will fix this due to limited character creator, because all these things are out of our control.

We have the same face (4) and I feel like we were put through a beauty filter but it went all wrong. If you are happy that is great for you tbh. I think your character went from lovely to dull and I would not recognize that it was the same character if I saw her. Her eyes look larger, nose rounder and her lips are completely different.

Benchmark has Gamma Correction at 50 by default it kills the colours. I retook same screenshot at 0 correction like I have it in game and it's much better colour wise. Black hair is still too grey though.

Whole face is almost completely 1:1. Especially eyes. I put both pictures on top of each other and played with transparency to compare. Eye shape doesn't change at all. Lips are bad I agree, but it seems to be an issue across all races.

Yes, already started thread about washed hair colors in the morning
I hope this will be fixed until the graphic overhaul goes live.

Lips are afaik mostly just a result of the fact that you no longer have stark black shadows wherever light doesn't directly touch.

Honestly love what they did with this face! I personally don’t use it but may make an alt with this face because of the changes made. Your Viera looks beautiful!
