I originally posted this here (#35).

I have permission from faiarrow to repost their translated post regarding Hellsguard Roegadyn from the JP megathread.

(Original post in Japanese here [#1229]).

Thank you for posting the updated benchmark.

Even though f!roe face 2 has been updated, I still have some feedback I'd like to give.
Here (#989) [Japanese; related to Benchmark 1.0] is a link to my initial feedback. Save for the shape of the nose all other issues have been ignored.



①The f!roe pupils are now black. Black pupils change the impression of the eyes and that affects the whole face.

② The shape of the nose has been corrected, but the nose ash does not look nice at all even on the lightest skintone. It's odd that a very beloved feature of the hellsguard has changed. I think it would be more acceptable if this was an option in the character maker (to change it light/dark) instead. This image is my face 3 character. She's the lightest skintone you can get on a hellsguard and her mark is practically invisible.



③There are still issues with the eyebrows. The following post is a great example:

However. Femroe face 2 brow creases are still. completely and utterly painted on. There is NO data on the normal map, so the brow creases just look plasticy and wierd.



The complete and utter lack of any shadows on the brow give the impression of the forehead, brow ridge and bridge of the nose being a completely different shape - smooth and airbrushy.

Here's a screenshot of the eyebrows from the benchmark. It looks like my character has filled in the outline of their eyebrows, making them look too long.



④ The philtrum is in an awkward position. From the side it looks OK but front on it's just two straight lines. That is not how a philtrum anatomically works, it should angle outward to meet the cupids bow of the lips.


I understand that female roegadyn is the smallest playerbase... but these are things that can't be fixed with a Fantasia.

potato jokes aside, that's ...an odd choice. Why would they remove that?

Not quite sure... especially since you can still see the vague man pecs so it's very :shrugs:
