Yoshida gives update on the benchmark/character creator

[Glenfiddich]

Many characters have very differently shaped mouths and an overly rounded out face, which seem to be two of the biggest contributing factors to people feeling that their characters look too different. I worry that this won’t be addressed, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Well I do wonder what the unimplemented high res textures means and how it will affect it.

Right now the benchmark shows me at very high settings comfortably,
Score: 13938 Very High
1920x1080 High (Desktop) DirectX11 FSR Windowed

So obviously unimplemented high res textures will affect that.

Well I just cranked it up to Max settings and ran it again and it didn't drop by much and still has me in the same range.

When I crank it up to Max settings, it still gives Very High.

Score: 12875 Very High

So I don't think its gonna kill me on the unimplemented textures.

Does that mean Au Ra puffy lips? Lalafell tiny teeth? Moonkeeper fangs? Those all seem like they'd have somewhat different causes so I don't know if they'd all be the same bullet point about "an" issue with scaling.

It could cover all of those, but the Au Ra lips are unlikely to be affected drastically by the corrections in the new version. The teeth and the lips are all part of the mouth object though, so if that was scaled incorrectly, everything would show at the wrong size.

The issues people are having with lips goes beyond their scaling, they were remodeled and are just different models. Them saying it's just scaling issues would imply the change in mouth style is intentional and going to be kept.

I guess Mr. Producer din't want to address everything that went wrong in Detail.
But, it's very possible that you are right.
