Updated benchmark

[Iscah]

It will take me some time to get through all my characters, so I've got two to show for tonight.

Firstly, my face 3 Midlander.



There have been some fixes from the previous benchmark, but not as much as I would like.

The eyelids on the first benchmark model are lowered from their current position, making her look sleepy and losing her wide-eyed look, and this has not been reverted for the second benchmark.

However, they have fixed the very heavy eyelid line that appeared in the first benchmark, which is a welcome change even if they're not going to properly put the eye shape back how it was. The eyelashes also seem back closer to the original shape.

Other particular issues I can spot right now are shadowy bags under the eyes (this seems to be extremely recurring across many characters) and that while the makeup on the upper eyelid is dark, the lower outer eyelid has lost the mild shading that helped to define the outer edge of the eye.

The overall expression is also... something unplaceable but not quite right. She feels less confident, I think? Which is not what I want for my bold Warrior of Light off on an adventure.

All the changes add up to make her look slightly ill compared to her current appearance.

The silver clasp on her shirt also stands out and seems to be looking progressively dirty and tarnished with each update. This is what I have been fearing all along, because every time we've gotten "HQ textures" on things they're so often ugly scratched textures and it feels like we're not allowed to have nice polished things any more.

She looks less o__o which I think is an improvement

i dont like the new benchmarkt tbh.
the shadows are a complete mess. looking at the hair shadow on the neck. left one looks so smooth and the right one almost unhealthy.
left is 1.0 and right 1.1

check your settings, under graphics 3. under shadow quality. for me "Use low-detail models on character shadows. (LOD) was set on, I turned it off and the hair shadows improved a lot. please let us know if it fixes that for you or not.

i unchecked both LOD options and nothing has changed. it still looks low quality. on my picture both benchmarks have the exact same settings with LOD checked

My WoL's eyebrows turned from white to grey. On the whole the changes are good but that's pretty jarring.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to post this one here as well.

Remember that if your game looks like the one on the right, stop providing feedback! You're doing us all a favor.

excuse me? that has nothing to do with my case. there is no extra software used! stop having a false assumption instead!

Oh i wasn't accusing you of anything, it was targeted towards specific feedback that changed shadows from 1.0 to 1.1.
