7.0 Graphical Update - Hair Highlights Feedback

[KhujaRela]

We have this same issue with my partner's fem Roegadyn...
She is supposed to have wine colored hair, and with the new options it looks either purple or plainly red. Not wine anymore, like that color hue totally dissapeared

if this is exactly and final as they plan to release, its pretty bad in the sense, that it is not what was said to be.

maybe one day we'll have a highlight slider/adjustments and toggles.

but bare minimum, your look has changed.

i made a post before realizing this one was already here, so hopefully this will help with visibility, but there's big problems with the consistency of highlights. here's my miqo'te's before and after




i'd probably be happier with the change if it was way more of a middle ground or at least the highlights looked more like streaks rather than a block of color, they just look so off and unnatural

Can I ask you what's that yellow color inside the left ear of the bottom picture?

honestly i didn't even pay attention to that at first, i was about to say i have no idea since it looked like that when i loaded the saved appearance in, but after fiddling around a bit it seems that that spot just takes the same color as the skin tone you have selected for the miqo

edit now that i'm looking at it, squinting at the ew benchmark screenshot you can kind of see that it's also a thing there, so i would think it's an existing feature that is just a lot more noticeable now or the light itself is making it stick out weirdly

Yeah, I just checked. It's a combination of the angle in your picture and the background you chose. The color of the skin inside the ears varies a bit depending on your skin color and here it just somehow got so prominent that one part looks yellow and the other pink. I can reproduce a similar effect in those conditions but not as marked as in your example.

Just giving this a bit more attention as I've run across the glaring highlights issue as well.


In the benchmark.


Exact same settings in Live.

I'd like to add onto this as well, I've noticed something weird with light highlights on dark hair. In dark / indirect lighting, there appear to be splotches of the highlight colour all over the hair, and it honestly looks like a bug to me.



Or maybe these splotches were present in the old textures as well, and are simply now visible with the higher resolution. I think I can spot them on the front of the hairstyle here in the older version too.

And new for comparison


From a cursory check, this appears to be an issue on several Keeper of the Moon hairstyles (mostly those with longer hair), I haven't checked the other races. I assume this is what the other user meant when they said it looks like their character had been a pictomancer all day.
