Hello. I would like to give some feedback about the new graphic update for my character.
My character is Hyur Midlander with Face 3. This is a side by side comparison between the current look and the new one from the benchmark. I tried to keep the lighting and camera angle as close as possible. I never touch the gamma or lighting settings it should be default.



Overall I have no problem with the new smooth look, I think I can get used to them. Although the beard texture stayed the same? The new textures are nice and is an upgrade.
However there's definitely something off that made it look very different from the original, like the personality didn't match. And I deduced that it's the eyes.

>>>The current one has very clear eyelid line.
>>>The 7.0 version eyelid line got toned down almost not recognizable. Just some small wrinkles.

The difference is subtle but it does give a different impression for the character and personality.
At first I thought it could only be the type 2 eye I uses, so I tried comparing every eye types and these are the results:




It appears that every eye types suffer the same fate. The very clear eyelid lines are gone giving a different impression. The older ones looks kinder, calmer, and I personally prefer it that way.
It could be because the new lighting making it brighter around the eyes, still the eyelid shouldn't be erased like this. I would appreciate it if this can be fixed to stay as close to the original as possible.

Another change that I would like to see is making the wrinkles more visible especially from the distance.



He look so much younger now. Face 3 is old man face. I believe they should look old.
These are just my personal opinion but please put into consideration.

==========

And that is all I wanted to say. This is my first forum post. Hope it will be useful.
I've saw some other problems same as other people like having weird glossy skin while in the shade etc. however that is an universal issue I am sure people have already pointed them out. Overall I am happy with the new graphic updates. I believe these updates are still the work in progress and I don't expect a drastic changes to be made on time for launch but I am looking forward to it nonetheless.
