Updated benchmark

[Somnolence]

Default gamma correction of 50 is awful. Moon miqo'te irises look gray with this. Need to change to 0.

I don't really want to be someone who complains, but I feel like the updated benchmark was actually a downgrade for my Keeper miqo'te. I was looking forward to it, but now I'm disappointed and more than a little confused. I wouldn't normally make a post about it, but I feel like the change was pretty drastic

Current In-Game/First Benchmark/Second Benchmark


With the change to his lips, it feels like his resting expression has completely changed, and instead of a neutral/resting grumpy face, he's now constantly smiling? I tried looking at the other lip options, but it seems like they've also gained upturned edges.

Additionally, it feels like with every benchmark that Face 4 Miqo'tes become softer and rounder, and I wish I understood why. Face 4 was the only real sharp/angular face option for miqos, which is the entire reason I chose it, and I feel like it's losing its identity with every subsequent update. It was the perfect fit for a stoic, no-nonsense character, and now it just feels... well, a bit out of character. Overall, it seems like a pretty noticeable change between the first and second benchmarks, especially when I didn't think male miqos in particular were getting a lot of complaints when compared with Viera or Elezen.

As an added bonus, he's also gained a neck seam now!

Its still an entirely different face. Seems they fixed the lighting but not much else. Could be worse though. Femroe chins are still polygonal and viera ears are still low res. Meh.

Okay I stopped being lazy and put them all together.



*Some minor settings like makeup colour are probably different between screenshots, I honestly can't remember. I know the eyeshadow was full black in the 1.0 screenshot because I was trying to fix it. Might be the normal purple in the new one. And too lazy to get a new screenshot of the current version without the bangs.

I'm definitely generally starting to like the new version over the current one now that he doesn't look like one of the victims from House of Wax. I still miss having the eyeshadow being more opaque for darker colours, and I think it's weirdly opaque for those who chose lighter colours for a more subtle look. I have no idea what happened to it, but I can accept it the way it is, I guess.

Don't have the motivation nor energy to do full comparison pics for today. But brief glance thru the new benchmark, I see that they've addressed aplenty of Male Middie Face 7 issues for the most part (kudos to them!). I am however still disappointed that they insisted on keeping the profound nasolabial folds on face 7 when from its inception since 6.0 it's been barely noticeable.

I'm considering to switch back to face 5 now since apparently the new benchmark has toned down their nasolabial folds... but then I won't get to enjoy face 7's stubble :/

Ugh... :smh:

In Dawntrail, several character(especially Lalafell and Mi'qote female)'s eye glow and lip gloss are too much. They must reduce unnecessary light effect.

EW > DT v1 > DT v1.1 > DT v1.1 with lighting on

Much improved, eyebrows fixed, lip gloss fixed

Open image in new tab and can zoom in easier.

Hi! I have some complaints, I would like the verts to move a little, so that the face shapes remain the same.
1) Nose is very square compared to old one. And nose bridge shape is very rough. (It's type 3 nose)
2) I would also like the shape of the lips to be close to what it was before - change shapekeys a bit, I think polycount allows it.
3) Black hair color is not black + new hair lighting distorts some strands due to excessive shine.
4) Not an issue but feels odd - eyes are too shiny now. Would be great to have something 50/50 from both Benchmarks.

Skintone feels better now, tho I'd like to have "turn off SSS" option anyway.
Thank you!

After remembering to turn the gamma to zero in bench I don't feel I even need filters from nvidia. I checked my Miqo'te, Au'ra, Highlander and Hrothgal selves and I would say I am loving all of them! Much improved for me personally. I haven't spotted any glaring bugs but I see a few of you have. Hopefully we can get further bugfixes and in the case of some faces their original look returned, that male miqo face turning smiley is a shame for example.
