Graphical Update: Appearance Feedback

[Toffle]

As many have mentioned, there are jarring changes that we are concerned about. Most of these have been discussed, so I'm only going to list one large topic, and then a couple about Miqo'te to reiterate.

The Eyes

Soulless Eyes. The specular map is set too low, or it's not been included at all, depending on the race. Eyes are naturally wet. Compared to before, it's the thing that stands out most.



DT Benchmark - Eyes are flat despite being on a boat, in the ocean, under the sun, with lots of bounce light.


In-Game Gpose - No manual lighting just the inn-room window providing a source.


DT - This is the most glaring version: Flat, vacant eyes. There are no thoughts in her head. It's like she's a doll. She's lost her personality.


EdW_Benchmark - Specular Map. Eyes have focus. She looks determined despite her neutral expression.


DT (Trailer) - Difficult to even see the iris properly. With no specular, looks void like. No light from the sun bouncing off ocean?


EdW - Specular present, slight shine in eyes, even when shaded. Can see eye colours.


DT - Eyes are flat, no spec. Can't see the white eyelashes. Dark nose is lighter and less defined. It's similar to how it looks with the option turned off.


EdW - Eyes have Spec. It's easy to see the white eyelashes, and the nose has a lovely dark colour when the option is turned on.

Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon Teeth:

Moon Keepers are defined by their round eyes and their long fangs. It's what seperates them from Seekers. But you have removed the fangs from the Female Keepers, and blunted the fangs of the Male Keepers. They also stick out at odd angles. Both Female and Male Moon Keepers deserve their fangs. There's very little for us that's unique. It's heartbreaking to have this taken away.

Minor Hair Issue:

DT - This hair style has a warped strand of hair on the forehead.


EdW - Same strand of hair. Though more pixelated, it blends with the rest of the hair.
