EU Graphical Update Feedback - Hands and Feet

[Sebazy]

Sorry for inflicting even more reshade eye bleach on you:



Glancing over at some of the newer sandals (in this case the Isle Loop Sandals), the strap geometry doesn't match the foot geometry edge for edge like it does on the older ones in my previous example. There is a chance that SE could have done the 200IQ move of foreseeing this issue and have made the newer meshes with a new foot model in mind. The only issue I see in this case is the toe strap.

I got those the other day and didn't even look at them, they're still not great but they definitely are a little better:



Definitely not a huge upgrade, but a bit better than the old fleshy lump foot:

hate is a strong word and i dont like how some people use it way too often, but i dont have any problem using it here:

really hate how we have no toes

[Oizen]

we got big floppy flesh flippers instead of feet.

Besides the need to update gear models, hands and feet are the most poly intensive parts of the body to make look good. You can kinda get away with fingers as they are now but feet have more considerations. Heel, Achilles tendon and toes that are both smaller and packed closer than fingers.

All that combined with the memory limit in zones and characters, maybe theyre working on it come DT but i wouldnt get my hopes up.

Yeah I wouldn't expect individual toes or completely rounded heels or anything like that either, but hopefully they can keep making small improvements like with the Isle Loop Sandals and maybe someday we'll be somewhere halfway decent.

It's going to look... interesting, if a character raises their hand up to their now-HD face. I hope they do update it eventually, even though it is true that they'd have to update the meshes of all the glove and shoe items that show skin in the game. It would be worth it... Hire on a new temp team to do it at least lol.

In my opinion if they can do this for a boss they can do it for us. They even dyed her nails. So we know they know how to make proper molds. As far as the polygon count increase, yeah it would be there, but I don't think the performance impact would be out of this world, if anything they can reduce the amount of characters visible on screen by one or 2 to compensate if memory is that tight, which I don't think it would be.

All in all, I think it is more than possible.

It's not only hands and feet that need work, it's the full body, if you haven't yet just look at the elbows, knees and thighs, the low polygon models make them really ugly.


Mr. Yoshida should take a look at Black Desert Online character models and see if they can make them just as good if not better, with the graphics update it's the perfect time to beautify all the races in-game, specially females whom need much more details.

BDO has the doll face problem. However, they do have much better hands and feet.
