I see what you mean about the little illuminated dots in the corners of the mouth. Perhaps there's an issue with the geometry there that's catching the light in a weird way?

There’s a weird thing with the catchlights sometimes too, where it falls on the edge of the iris and makes it look distorted. Don’t have a screenshot of that yet, I never seem to be able to time it right. It also seems like there’s a light source inside our heads now, which is certain lighting conditions, it looks like we’re leaking light out of our eyes and the corners of our mouths!



Extreme lighting example because Prae is awful, but it really illustrates it.

There actually is a 'character lighting' setting, which does that, especially in really dark areas such as Praetorium. I don't remember exactly where it is, but you can adjust and/or turn that off.

I was wondering why my character looked weird in Praetorium and some other lvl 50 areas compared to newer areas where my character looks pretty good. I will have to find and test that setting.

It's under System Configuration> Display Settings. Character Lighting is at the very bottom.

Also I don't think Prae has been updated yet. They're doing things in waves with each patch.

Got it makes sense now

Thank you

Annoyingly, the character lighting setting is global for all characters, including npcs. I’d like to turn it up a bit for myself but then I see it makes npcs in the distance glow and look odd. Would be nice to separate those out into self and others.

I don’t know if you’re still around but could I ask you how you managed to create such a high quality animated gif? I would like to do the same so I can show an edit to my character but I cant find any way to save it without it loosing a lot of quality.

I used procreate for image edit and export gif. it's ipad app for drawing and you should pay for it. and i come this thread like everyday for see any other opinions or cases. sooooo... yeah. just let me know if you guys want to see me
