Updated benchmark

[Rudje]

My brain has decided I don't get to sleep tonight, so, benchmark. I tried to get the angles right but I'm not sure on account of it's 6 am and I have not been able to sleep. (don't... don't compare color, that's not what's being compared here or I would have been assed to move from where I left him.)


e: i am so tired. screw it. have url. https://imgbox.com/osxEAzKu

Face shape seems different (narrower and less soft, mostly), will need to do a more detailed breakdown with better comparison lighting once I've gotten any sleep to be sure. Brows still seem thinner than live, but at least it's a small difference this time and one I mind a lot less than the rest. More concerning, the lip shape issue is still there; his lips have a much more shallow curve in live, and unlike the rampant issue of beestung lips among women it makes his lips look weirdly thin in comparison, and i'm pretty damn sure this isn't just lighting. More concerning is that his lower lashes are thinner, smaller, and fill less of the lower lash line! Where are his beautiful lashes! Who stole his mascara!

Don't get me wrong: this is much, much better than the old benchmark. This still is not my boy. Maybe it's his brother? But it ain't him.

Your FOVs are vastly different. You can't just use a shot from the game without matching them.

If you have better options for a close-up I'm genuinely open to hearing it. The live character creator lighting is so weird I don't particularly want to use it for this because it will make things harder to compare when I'm specifically trying to compare the face I look at every time I log into the game for this (because it does look subtly different than in-game and I want to eliminate that), and the only recent cutscene shots I have all have his glasses on which drastically alters how I read his face.
