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

Suppose ill post my Elezen here as well. Right is DT.

I find most characters here to be an improvent, especially Viera who i find to be frankly ugly currently.

They murdered my girl... the dark pupils combined with the hellsguard nose rhinarium/mark being so much lighter is not a winning change.

I had a look and noticed that while their eyes do seem more noticeable at night, it is disappointing for them to lose the coloured pupil, but the real shock is the nose detail having such a huge change. It makes no sense as to why it's now so pale and less noticeable as a feature to the Hellsguard!

Thank you for sharing!

I was wrong here. It's not eye tilt, it's camera tilt.

I finally got around to starting on screenshots. The extra detailing means a tiny change in camera angle is making a bigger difference than it would with the old graphics. Very noticeable with eyes and jawline, somewhat noticeable with lips.

If your look is bothering you, see if a small change to camera angle makes a difference.

Checking the emotes in the Voice section helps too. Sometimes it's just a matter of the resting face just being ever so slightly off, but once it starts actually moving it looks right.

It does look a little more natural but in a weird way... acceptable is all I can say.

[Larirawiel]

Looks not so different. So i do not worry about it.

I made before and after screenshots of my three main chars, mostly happy with how they turned out, but the mouth on Felezen is a bit more downturned, the eyebags on my duskwight and the soulless eyes of my lala are a bit weird

I took a whole bunch of pictures. A lot of what I'm seeing really bugs me. My Lily's nose is a different shape in the benchmark, her skin appears to be lighter in general, and her lips no longer has any gloss.

But I think the two that really highlight there being something wrong are these.

What the heck?

Maybe I'll get used to it or change a few things around, but that lower lip bothers me.
Yoshi-P said the characters will look more alive but based on that character creation screen I look more robotic.

[GrizzlyTank]

Common mistake i see with the updates is that the lips and noses didn't only get more polygons, but have been overall made smaller or more rounded.

Also noticed that the changes seemed significantly less noticeable in the benchmark video than in the character creator.

[SpiritMuse]

Not sure I'm convinced. There are a lot of changes around the eyes that severely impact his facial expression and make it look decidedly less friendly.
