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

[Verd]

Something's clearly gone wrong with lips across the board though, based on how many other people are noticing it.

I mean, should fem elezen be expected to live with this?

I wanna say that's a bug. Something is wrong with the animation there it's not the model or texture.

They didn't change the models though (as far as I can tell). Heck, in certain lighting conditions you can even still see where au ra face 2's two halves aren't quite fused right. Ditto for other model seams that have been there since 2.0. I think the changes to the mouths are tied to the new facial rigging they're doing. And it's clearly having an impact on the distinctiveness of the faces. Some au ra mouths, for example, look poutier than before, and others look thinner. There should be a way to do this graphics update without actually changing the facial features.

I mean, you just mentioned how the mouth is different. That's a change to the model. It just wasn't a total remake of it. There's def something off about the animation for Femezen tho, hopefully it's just a work in progress or a bug that'll be fixed.
I know someone suggested that it might be that some of the animations are still using the Hyur base or something. Maybe that's it.

My point is that I'm wondering if all the mouth differences are a bug. Suddenly having them way less wide than they used to be, seemingly based on nothing, feels like the same kind of thing that might cause femelezen to look like they're dying on the inside when they're supposed to be laughing. It's not as noticeable but my au ra's smile has a definite...joker quality to it now because of the weirdly upturned corners.
