A Suggestion - How to Make Characters More Realistic

[Nutz]

Actual subsurface scattering would be a massive resource drain that simply couldn't be done with so many characters on screen. I do agree, however, that skin is a bit too 'dry' and flat in this game. The 'wet' shader is a step in the right direction I suppose, but still not right (for wet or dry). Dry skin should have about as much specularity as the wet shader shows, but with less gloss (the highlights should be almost as strong but more dispersed). Wet should have a bit more specularity and much more gloss (nearly pure white highlights that are very small), ideally aided by an animated normal map of water running down the skin, but that might be reaching too far.

I'd like to see our characters sweat, as disgusting as that sounds. In Coerthas, we know it's cold, not just from with snow everywhere but we can see our characters breath. Compare that to hot regions such as Thanalan and Costa. In Thanalan, during a heatwave, we may see heat rising from the ground, but there's no physical effect on our characters like in Coerthas.

While in Thanalan and UD, while at rest, we may be sweating a little bit after awhile of being there. AFter fighting for awhile, we may be sweating more heavily than just sitting around UD.
