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

[Embran]

I really recommend people view their characters in the benchmark before you start sucking on your pistols.

I felt like mine didn't match at all in the creator then I ran her through the cutscene and it helped put a lot of my fears to rest. The lighting in the creator is too static and doesn't help.

Yeah no a little motion in lighting isn't going to fix the removal of literal racial traits. I appreciate where you're coming from, but my character still looks like a bootleg version of herself.

Not applicable for everyone, of course. I've seen a lot of others saying the same, is all.

I actually thought femroe and thighlander got the biggest glowups, lol.

What do you feel your new roe is missing?

I'm not trying to combat you, btw. I have no interest in changing your mind.

I posted it earlier in the thread, but:

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

I've also noticed hellsguard really did get shafted in their nose marks even on M!Roe - the face type that usually has a nearly pitch black nose tip is so pale now it's a joke. A lot of people note the coloured pupil things as a technical limitation in the previous engine but it was always very striking on roegadyn and made them stand out even more beyond their general other racial traits compared to, say, F!highlanders. To me the dark pupils make Sko look very... offputting.

Your femroe looks amazing, and that is quite the drastic change, so I don't fault you for being upset.

Do you use reshade? I do, and I find that my thighlander looks quite different than I'm used to without it.

I'm not trying to challenge you. I just wanna help alleviate some concerns lol.

Im with ya, she looks flat and boring now. I completely understand why they felt the need to announce that they will be giving free fantasias to everyone.

I have also given it a go in the benchmark and the few closeups we got they all looked nothing like my character to me. I did think the final shot was fairly close to the original compared to what I have seen before but it was probably because the weird new lips were not as visible due to the intense lighting.

Hair looks worse and absolute downgrade... has plastic texture, and colors have changed drastically on some hues, also some hairstyles now are less "fluffy" and more pointy/spiky... I hoped it would be literally the other way

Eyes look dead 99% of the time, light reflection is small and not enought, also they look uncannily "realistic" iris, but at the same time some got bigger eyes, fuller eyelashes..., some shapes changed too

Skin looks made of wax/silicone on some skin tones and under certain lights, also dark skins look more greener/gray for no real reason

I really noticed those changes since they started to show 7.0 updates on fanfests, but I had hopes it wouldn't be this bad, and its worse...
