Updated benchmark

[execlinca]

not at home, asked someone to look for me, but while the lighting looks much better one of my biggest concerns is still there. aka face 1 femra still have outright missing scales.



above is left: current game and right is original benchmark.
below is new benchmark. EXACTLY the same.



really was hoping this would be fixed. it's sloppy, and very noticeable if your hair doesn't cover the horns.

It's definitely not always the case of lighting, and it would be nice if people stopped trying to discredit people's criticisms. Why are you even here if you're just complaining about people's feedback when that's what the thread is for?

If someone is allowed to make criticisms, others are allowed to discuss the criticisms. I happen to disagree with literally /everyone/ in this thread. I looked closely and all I see are lighting differences now and higher polygon count.

The only legit issue I've seen is another thread showing different shape of a Miqote eye selection.

I even liked the original benchmark.

The reason I'm saying what I am, is because I don't want peoples incessant complaining to impact what I am already happy with. Literally /nothing/ needs to be changed. At all.

Let the expansion come out and see things in motion.

IE : The new lighting and day and night cycle dynamically working over the course of an in game day. I'm willing to bet everyones complaints evaporate when they realize MID DAY LIGHTING is the worst time to take screenshots.

Hrothgar have a few odd issues. Beyond the body seams now showing on the arm fur, their eyes are also rather egregiously glossy and reflective now, even in lighting that isn't directly shining on them. It makes their pupils much harder to distinguish, and the color of the iris way less distinct compared to the last benchmark.





I'm a bit sad that I kind of prefer the first benchmark for my hrothgar in particular. It's not massive differences, but the new normal maps make my guy look more gaunt at the cheekbones. Hopefully there will still be some changes taken into account, even if we won't be getting a third benchmark prior to release.

I have a lot of thoughts but a big thing I’ve noticed from both a lot of the feedback already coming in here and from my own testing with the new benchmark, is that it seems like they didn’t fix the issues with mouth/lip shapes at all. That’s crazy to me considering that was one of the number one most feedbacked things across races with the first benchmark.

Yeah I am confused about this as well. My vieras skin looks better and the shadows are obviously better, but her lips still look like they got stung by bees.

“I’m happy so you all need to shut up”

That’s a fantastic opinion that is on a public forum

Ooof that one does bug me. I didn't even notice that because my hair covers that spot.

Seems I forgot posting on a public forum that I'm happy with things is forbidden.

That's not what they said but great job misrepresenting things I guess

i haven't seen too many fem hyurs, but something about my character just feels scuffed/off now. not sure what it is oh well...maybe she'll be cuter in game?

Still working on getting screenies for mine (same face) but it doesn't look they changed any of the issues for that face outside of the dead eyes from first benchmark.

You can say you are happy

Saying “I don’t want people’s whining running my enjoyment NOTHING NEEDS TO CHANGE AT ALL” isn’t innocently professing your enjoyment and you know it
