VIERA AND HROTHGAR COMPLAINT MEGATHREAD

[ameliaw]

Hoping that we'll get Yshtola's hair and this hair I'm wearing on my miqote.
I think that if we do, I might finally stop fantaing away from Viera

Now if only they made Hrothgar ears stop being made of freaking rock compared to Miqo'te ears.

Aaahhh, if only. And even just looking at Miqo'tes...the guys have more expressive ears than their female counterparts.

Viera ears bounce a bit when you run (not sure if this is true for all types), but that's pretty much it. Do Hroth ears move at all? Ear physics would be so cool. ._.

I don't think they do. Because of how they decided to model the ears as part of the base model of the bodies.
Even if it's too late to ask... why did they model them that way? That was some serious lack of foresight.

If only I had a nickel for every time I've muttered that phrase regarding XIV..... :P

Not. As far as I know, Hrothgar's head doesn't have skeletons for the ears, which causes them to be treated as static things.

The Vieras, on the other hand, have these skeletons, which makes physics possible in them. It would even be possible to make moves with them in emotes, just like the miqo'tes have. But we're talking about SE, they're too lazy for that.

The solution would be to reshape the hrothgar's head so that their ears have these skeletons. But I've heard that this game has a limited number of skeletons per head, so I don't even know if that's possible.

You don't need to reshape anything, also every race has miqote ear bones it's part of the base skeleton, only elezen and lalafell use them though besides the obvious. I reckon it'd take an afternoon for a ystolha lofi chill asmr catgirl roleplayer to weight paint the ears, the bigger issue would be retroactively changing the animations to have motion which are probably just copied from roes for the majority of hrothgar anims.

Good to know that, I really don't know anything about 3D modeling and animations.

On the one hand, it's good, since, as I understand it, it won't take as much work as I imagined. On the other hand, it all depends on the S.E, so... well...

You know what actually DOES bounce alot on females? Their boobs. I actually noticed that when my viera bounced when I was taking a SS the other day. Her boobs move more than her ears. PRIORITIES SE!

because of things like that, I started playing as a male character, even though I'm a woman -.-"
