Benchmark/Graphics Update - Show your WoL's before and after

[Egggi]

I'm unhappy with what's happened to my F Au ra. She looks more like a doll with the shape of her lips very much changed, more narrow but overly full and thick, looks like she's puckering. Combining that and the dimples make her cheeks look puffier. I liked face 4 for its angular looks and that's just gone. And the skin looks like she's had bad sunscreen applied. she looks even more like a dead fish than before in the pupils/eyes, limbal rings are pretty much gone. They did say the point was to preserve the feeling and spirit of our characters, right? I'd like my serious and capable look back.

before/after of some of my chars. i think my midlander was the most improved. no more crazy eyes. miqote and viera seem mostly the same just smoother i guess?

I might have voiced distate on the update but under ideal lighting (which I expect when gposing as well) I prefer 100% the benchmark one.
Feels like mom that able to love the face of her kid again.
(But please fix the face paint problem and the washed out face feature in the environment)

Honestly im disapointed. After getting over the first chock and trying to rescue my beloved bun boy i had to give up and experiment with other races. You have done such a good job with the Miqote but ALL options for Viera eyebrows are too thin And the beautifull eyelashes and makeup that made my characters eyes pop even on a distance are watered down and just look dull now. The face looks flat too. I can come over mutch of it but the eyebrows are completely unfixable and his new eyes looks so plain and boring in the benchmark in comparison with his current form. Didnt think i would wait for dawntrail with a sad feeling inside my chest but now i do. Please... at least, save the eyebrows and make them darker. make them pop like before.

My elezen lady came out fine. But this... this is soul-crushing.



The DT lighting entirely changed the contours of his face, so much that it does not look like the same person. The spray-paint brows which were never great in the first place are no longer even close passing now.

This image right here should be the poster child for a Benchmark rework. This poor guy!

To get the most apples to apples comparison, I fired up my old Endwalker benchmark.

( Tumblr maybe won't let this work but I'll try..... )



Compared to Dawntrail:
