Updated benchmark

I am happy with the changes for the most part, and I'm glad they fixed the weird rigging for female elezen mouths. However, I am still unhappy about the forced default smiling expression. Before, the lip shape for female elezen face 4 curved downward, giving her a more neutral face.

However, in the benchmark, the lip shape has remained changed so that it curves upward in a constant smile. I have seen other screenshots from other races with the same issue; the resting default face should be more neutral in general, so I hope they change this.

Honestly I prefer it. Always felt my elezen had "resting bitch face" lol, so I am glad to see her smile. That said I get it will be different for everyone. Cant please everyone, alas

You could please most if the adjusted features were added as new options as opposed to replacing old ones.

New benchmark is MASSIVELY improved. I can tell there are still a few changes (mostly the lip shape) but overall my character is actually recognizable as herself again.

My biggest issue was rounding up her cat-shaped eyes
I am glad that they fixed it - a tiny bit, but that make such a huge impact

Also we don't have to talk about the lighting fix - that alone makes the characters look so much better than in the first benchmark

I LOVE having back my cateyes! Very pleased! But I have no clue why the eyebrows got changed again and even more different than original

Also face marks on forehead stayed more visible like in the previous benchmark and the lips still have a slight difference even though my face model has very similar lips so the difference isn't that huge as with other)

But I'm kinda disappointed about the second-eyebrow change
Even with eyebrow shape 2 which always has the "saddest" look they look kinda mean


first comparison after the first benchmark release plus the new one

and eyebrows #2 aka the "straight" ones..

Overall I am happy because for me the eyes were the most important thing

Having my issues with image-URLs so now I got imgur ^^
I created some GIFs for especially the huge changes in the eyebrows on my Moon Miqo - Face 2 - Eyes 6 - Eyebrows 4


also the direct comparison of the eyebrows to the second change in benchmark 1.1


and for extreme example - eyebrows 2 in comparison (as these are always the most straight ones)
