    I look ugly with the lights on

    I'm not that bad looking of a dude and my mother always said I was handsome, but when I am in a fairly lit room the lights serve to point out my oddly shaped face. They cast uneven shadows on seemingly random portions of my head and it makes me look like I'm about to do whatever it takes to make 95% HQ chance actually mean 95% in a dirty alleyway.

    Here's Angstinaud sporting a nice even shading across his punchable face.

    Anyone else got this issue?

    Yeah, one of the hyur female faces has bugs with how it responds to certain lighting. The underside of the eyes will be lit up even when the rest of the face is darkened, which makes for a very bug-eyed appearance. I don't have any screenshots of it because it looked so bad I always avoided taking screenshots when it was happening.

    Character lighting is...wierd.

    It's one of those things that will be a major QoL increase if/when it's improved.

    Yeah, this is what I was talking about. The lighting is weird because of the way the face is structured just beneath the eyes. It ends up in a lot of situations where that portion is much darker than the surrounding face or much lighter than the surrounding face, as though it constitutes a drastic change in angle, when in reality it's only a slight change. In normal lighting, like most outdoor areas lit by daylight, it's fine. However, when you get to the random artificial or particularly bright or focused sources of light, it often looks quite terrible.
