Viera Changes

[verticalmike]

Bit of a mixed bag for me, in terms of design the only real complaint I have is the lips, (face4 mouth 3) the top lip in particular is less defined, probably not much but the lighting perhaps makes it more obvious. Not awful, and in the benchmark proper for sure not super noticeable. Colours are a little different, think I prefer the old hair colour even if I'm not super opinionated between the 2 , I'm probably gonna make a point to use a slightly darker eye colour going forwards to accommodate for the difference though. Eyes in general in character creation look a little more soulless? I think its the reflections, which in the char creator I sort of look at and actively dislike, in the benchmarking it's less obvious, though at the end when the final score is given I felt my character was looking off camera towards the rating above the character rather than towards the camera itself, possibly related but at the same time maybe a whole lot of nothing.

The only thing, I consider truly worse is the way the ears are reflecting light, particularly along the top half, maybe intentionally going for a really glossy sheen but to me it looks like they are made of plastic, they could even be technically correct based on lighting but I just don't like how it looks personally.

Lastly I felt like lighting gives the jaw line less definition under some conditions but I expect that is an inevitable side effect of the changes. Not really a complaint, but i think it's added to why at times i felt my char looks very different but other times very similar Otherwise seems nice, indoors char creation lighting in particular made the char look much better.

Not to say I hate it all but figured might as well post my opinion here on the off chance square is looking for feedback.
