    Maybe it's partly because I'm not trying to replicate a past appearance at all, but I absolutely love the updated f viera (Rava at least, I didn't look at Veena) and think they look great. Room for improvement of course but I have a good starting point for a look to change to in whatever the final release looks like. So we'll see.

    The weird glowy ears are funny though. Hope they fix that.

    Rava still have the waxy skin issue, though it's more apparent in some lighting than others and with lighter skin tones. I can barely see it around the bridge of her nose and between her nose and mouth.

    Detailed comparison, please open the image in the new window to see it in detail.

    - White eyelashes barely visible
    - Nose shading completely changed, looks dirty
    - Mouth flat and featureless
    - Chin looks like a golf ball and is honestly very ugly
    - Skin looks rough and dry

    Overall impression is dull and lifeless. I can confirm this is due to new (and not improved) textures. It appears that the mesh/model of the face is completely unchanged.

    It’s not just the shading for the nose, it is the whole form that changed. Look at the bridge or length and how it had a shape of () sort of, while now it is /\
    The tip shape is changed, nostrils
    It is not just the light, it is a different sculpture

    It is not the light but the texture. I am not entirely convinced the nose is a different shape, but it is impossible to say for certain without comparing the actual meshes in a 3D program. If it is changed, the difference is very small, it's mostly a matter of the painted details being very different.
