Updated benchmark

[Doozer]

Most of you all saying 'something feels off' are saying that because thats the biggest difference the lighting makes. The current games lighting is /very/ bad. Now we have proper lighting. Shadows are more accurate and look a lot better. Shadows make things look different.

Its the age old shine a flashlight under your chin to look scary thing.

I also don't get the 'duck lips' complaint on the Au Ra pictures from that one person. Duck lips stick out. Au Ra lips are practically flat against their face in all four options on Face 1.

Some of yall will literally never be happy unless they give up on the graphics update and leave us with old models forever.

It's definitely not always the case of lighting, and it would be nice if people stopped trying to discredit people's criticisms. Why are you even here if you're just complaining about people's feedback when that's what the thread is for?

If someone is allowed to make criticisms, others are allowed to discuss the criticisms. I happen to disagree with literally /everyone/ in this thread. I looked closely and all I see are lighting differences now and higher polygon count.

The only legit issue I've seen is another thread showing different shape of a Miqote eye selection.

I even liked the original benchmark.

The reason I'm saying what I am, is because I don't want peoples incessant complaining to impact what I am already happy with. Literally /nothing/ needs to be changed. At all.

Let the expansion come out and see things in motion.

IE : The new lighting and day and night cycle dynamically working over the course of an in game day. I'm willing to bet everyones complaints evaporate when they realize MID DAY LIGHTING is the worst time to take screenshots.

“I’m happy so you all need to shut up”

That’s a fantastic opinion that is on a public forum

Seems I forgot posting on a public forum that I'm happy with things is forbidden.

You can say you are happy

Saying “I don’t want people’s whining running my enjoyment NOTHING NEEDS TO CHANGE AT ALL” isn’t innocently professing your enjoyment and you know it

That's not what they said but great job misrepresenting things I guess

I think people have the right to complain, since the game is really very old and many players have gotten used to their characters.
As artist, I know that sometimes a person wants really small edits in a portrait, so that they say "yes, this is my face".

And it's not about the updated lighting, but about how many details of the characters have really changed in a game where a small shadow under the eyes or a barely noticeable choice of iris size is considered as Fantasia-worthy character edit.

They still have time to fix some things, it's mostly about texture edits and shapes edits.
