Updated benchmark

[Iscah]

Change your computer's time to April 1st and run the benchmark. You'll get to see what one of the old models + some of the old textures look like with the new graphics updates and whatnot. Since my WoL uses many of the same face options, it really stood out to me to show how much the textures have been improved and how faithfully the new models adhere to the old.

I don't see how comparing Hildibrand's appearance would be any more enlightening than comparing my own characters by recreating them in the benchmark, as I have been doing in depth throughout this entire business. The textures might look nicer but every single face has been altered in ways that are detrimental to the mood of the character and/or just artistically strange.

So you know the answer to your question, "Is it technically possible?" and get an idea of how that would look. You can look at how the old textures appear in the new benchmark and extrapolate, yes? It's something you literally cannot do with any other model, because that is literally the only model in the entire benchmark that uses Endwalker's face model and Endwalker's face texture. Hildibrand's model and face texture were not updated for the benchmark. He uses the new eye texture because the old one does not exist in the benchmark.

I have no idea how this is relevant. I asked if it would be possible to keep a separate version of the program that displays the old textures. You point me towards the new program as evidence that the new program is running with new textures.

*sets face in hands*

I pointed you to the new program running ONE INSTANCE of THE OLD TEXTURE and OLD MODEL so you had inconvertible proof that it was technically possible and ALSO so you could see it for yourself.

Admittedly I missed that you had asked for *an entire separate program* which...no, that's not possible, except in the very narrowest use of "technical". That's never going to happen. Though I understand the Endwalker benchmark can still be obtained somewhere so perhaps that will satisfy you.
