Dawntrail character graphics update - opinions, requests and discussion megathread

[Iscah]

When I reached this scene I had a good chuckle because I realized it looks exactly like so many pictures people have posted as examples of how bad the graphical update looks.

That's actually a really good example of something they have gotten very wrong with some of the new models, which is the shape of the face around the cheeks and upper lip.

The lighting in your screenshot shows that the light falling on the face traces a line from the temples towards a point below the nose, then turns downwards at the nasolabial fold.

In a number of cases with the update, lighting on the old face did this, but the new face has been turned into an unnatural shape with crease running inwards to the centre of the lip instead of outwards to the edges, and the light falls accordingly.
