Updated benchmark

[PomPon]

Some thoughts here:

Hair textures are incredibly improved.

As a moon miqo:
Eyes actually appear duller and milky (?) in some lighting environments like she is going blind in the new 1.1 benchmark.
The highlight itself, is actually blurrier and less sparkly in bench2 than in bench1 as if a smudge tool was taken to it.
order: Live | Bench1 | Bench2



Milky eyes does carry over into the actual accompanying cinematic as seen in benchmark freezeframe shot at the end:
order: Bench2 | Bench1


The texture of the iris is... weird, but in the cinematic it is fine. The lines in the iris (idk what they are called) are too uniform, like a stuffed animals plastic eye, but its only noticeable in the character creator.

order: Bench2 | Live


The mouth shape is pretty different especially in regard to the top lip. She has less heart shaped lip type than before and the neutral curve is more of a slight frown. She looks annoyed/unimpressed/mad compared to before.

Order: Live | Bench2

Compared to the last benchmark, the distortions around the top of the nose and chin are toned down, and the hair is a massive upgrade. Unlike the first bench, I'd consider the game playable in this state, though I need to adjust skin tones on pretty much all my characters regardless of race.


With that said, I still prefer the current game. On live, the eyes are more detailed than everything else, which draws the viewer's attention in and gives the overall face a focused look. But in the benchmark the detail on the philtrum and chin shadows is excessive and distracting, especially on low shadow settings, where it just kinda looks bad. The eyeshadow, especially in the outer corners, isn't as intense. The bottom lip still needs to be smaller.




On my viera I have more or less the same complaints, especially on the lower eyelid.

You're using the same face and eye model and I love that we can see here pretty well whats my issue with the eyebrows..
I didn't like the change in the first benchmark because the eyebrows look kinda "chopped" off at the end - but at least the front part to the nose stayed the same.
Now with the new benchmark they also changed that part which makes the previous "soft looking" eyebrows more tilted and "sharp" :c

I also noted the "milky" eyes and was pretty confused about it
