The artificial Eye reflection looks bad.

[Ath192]

Despite what people have been saying about this and their characters looking dead without it I think my character looks worse with static eye specks that never move.

At the end of the day I'm not going to throw some massive fit and I can put up with it but this to me is a case of sometimes making things worse due to feedback. Given the new lighting I think there's plenty of reflections going on to make the eyes not look dead anymore. I would suggest removing it.

It looks really bad if you move the camera around and everything moves but those static spots stay as well.

Also for some reason its almost like my character has cataracts or smudges on the right eye... another thing I would advise removing, again, I'm mostly happy so I'm okay if this is it, but I don't think this is an improvement.

Here is also an example of how hazy her eyes have become because of all of this feedback. It looks like her eyes are now from an 80 year old and she can't see well....

Further adding to this post on Miqote feedback, the transition in this hair is WAY too big, as you zoom in things become more defined, I understand that for saving resources, however, with this hair the difference is TOO big, I would make the zoomed out hair a bit more defined than this because I actually do enjoy this style a lot and it won't look as good like this.

They gave your poor Miqo'te cat-aracts! ;n;

I honestly agree? I get the reason why people complained about the eyes in the benchmark 1. Not having any shine isn't good, but adding in a static fake shine (or rather, adding it back) is regressing, and it's gonna be really janky combined with what are otherwise a bunch of real and dynamic lights. Not sure what the perfect solution would have been, but I don't think adding in a cartoony eye dot was it.

I just need to stay off OF for this. While there are still legit concerns, its becoming clear to me that some people just cannot handle the fact that updating the graphics will change how their character looks and they will fight tooth and claw to hold back graphical progress. Adding back the fake reflections is the perfect example of that

At first I thought my monitor was dirty, no joke.

I do honestly feel like the old benchmark results had issues with eyes in the shade having no shine at all. But I think they could've gone for a better solution than adding back the old, archaic eye dot. So yeah, pity, really.

And the amount of people complaining about the skin shading is inconceivable. So many people who are angry that their character's skin no longer looks like cardboard.

We don't know how the other eye reflections are in-game. Might be restricted to the creator only.

Issue i have with the eyes now is that they have opted to go a tad too detailed on them, which breaks away from the older more cartoony artstyle. Our eyes were sharp and clean, now they are foggy and... gooey.

Archaic... Pretty much most artists, photographers and cinematographers would disagree with that.

I'm not sure those are artificial. The strongest highlight on my character's eye changes shape when it hits the edge of his cornea. If it's artificial, they've done a very good job of remodeling the eyes so it reflects differently on the cornea surface vs. cornea edge vs. sclera.

I do think some of the pupils look lighter than maybe they should.

(I can't stop rotating my character by increments in the new chargen and admiring the eye reflections.)
