Updated benchmark

Here's my 2 bits of observations i guess, i'm generally fine with what they've done.


Cons:

• Global illumination decreased and more natural looking soft shadows replaced with harder more EW type shadows because people were complaining about flat looking scenes.
• Certain hairstyles that used to have a self casted shadow, no longer have it as a byproduct of the above change
• Visible neck seams on some race/face combos

I'm sure stuff will get finetuned until the end, so again thank you dev team for your efforts.

I agree, hair in your face mysteriously not casting a shadow looks very strange. I was confused what the dev post meant by saying character faces looked "mottled" when hair shadows are cast on them. That's just how light works.

A hair strand is far from being completely opaque so not casting a shadow at all is a better approximation of reality in most cases

A hair chunk that large would absolutely cast a shadow.
