If You Could Change One Thing (Graphical Update)

[SalamanderIX]

Lips for sure. they are lacking curviture and glossiness. I don't need them to look the same as they were but they haven't improved lips in the slightest in the way they changed them.

Lalafell Teeth -they've been completely changed in the update/ benchmark
I hope this horrifies you as much as it does me lmao

I preferred the shape of their original teeth

Mao would wants scales fixed so can be true black and nots has bad artifacts near edges.

Likewise lips.

While most every other change has been minimal, the lip changes have been frustrating for me. The gloss and fullness has gone and the way the lip colour doesn't fade out anymore gives the appearance of a very different lip shape which I don't enjoy.




Please restore the cute round bottom lip on my Face 3 Miqo'te and the permanent misery of the Face 2 Au Ra.

Just lip colours for me they need some gloss and maybe brighter eyes.

teeth need to have more distinction/shadow work on them, they look like they're glowing or my man has a mouthguard in place

[ValG]

Lips, no doubt. Overall it feels like a downgrade.

If you could only change ONE thing, assuming that technical errors are going to be fixed (i.e. missing updated textures), what would be at the top of your list?

The incessant whining on social media, including this forum.

Let xaela femra have darker and more realistic skintones??? It washes my girl out ENTIRELY and makes her like 3 shades lighter as it stands, and she has no undertone so to speak and looks like a corpse!! All the warmth of her undertone is gone, it's ridiculous! and I can't go any darker so she's just gonna get lightened!!

I'd like to add after fighting with colors for a long time thinking that's what the problem is - Her lips look clownish now because there's no more definition on the texture around them (i.e. that faux shadow below the bottom lip that was present on face 4 and is totally gone now because the lipstick layer now extends over it) - I believe they got rid of these details thinking the new lighting would create the definition - but it fails to do so in direct sunlight or in shade - and I'm talking about in the cinematic not in the character creator. This is overlooking how drastically this changes the shape of the lips, too.



And I know what happened. Our lipstick didn't use to cover what appeared to be the entirety of our lips on face 4. This gave the impression of definition below the lower lip. Maybe you can say it was an accident, but it looked nice. With the lipstick layer now covering that, it looks incredibly strange, flat, and clownish from a distance in the cinematic - I will say, if we could use a rich, dark lipstick color, it would look better, but we're not allowed to use vibrant lipstick colors for some reason, even though other races can. And not everyone wants to wear vibrant red lipstick all the time.

I know the devs worked very hard on this. And they did a beautiful job. Her scales are so pretty, her horns are amazing, her new nose is cute. But they're driving me mad with the lips. This is NOT a "bad lighting in CC" issue. The area of the lipstick coverage has been entirely altered and definition has been lost. I'm really sorry they worked so hard and are receiving these complaints. But please look at this. You can't tell me this looks right. This isn't in the character creator lighting. I don't think we can call this a scaling issue. I've tried no lipstick, paler lipstick, nothing makes the clownish tuberculosis look go away.



Again, I'm very sorry I have complaints. I'm sorry some people are being mean. They shouldn't be. I know the devs worked so hard on this. A lot of it is completely stunning! Most of my friends love their WoLs! But please understand how different this looks outside of Character Creator. This is a texture issue, not a lighting or scaling issue.

Just to make it extra clear, for people with bad eyes, I'm talking about this being gone. We need an option to have this back.



And to make it extra extra clear because people keep telling me they look the same, here's an outline!
