    Benchmark v1.1 - Male Viera Noses

    Overall I'm pretty happy with the benchmark update but the one caveat is male Viera noses, at least on darker skin. I was actually happy that the previous benchmark made the bunny nose a bit more pronounced, but the updated benchmark took that away pretty much entirely. I'd prefer if they could bring it back, or if they could put the bunny nose shading under Facial Features as an optional toggle.

    First image is v1.1, second image is original benchmark.

    Yes! The ONLY thing I liked about my bunboy in the previous benchmark was his cute little bunbun nose, but now it looks like someone waxed away his bunny velvet.

    In more serious and calm terms: it really is sad to see this feature be so reduced. I think of it like limbal rings for au ra and moon keeper fangs, in that it is a unique racial feature that should not be taken away. Now viera just have ears to make them look different from hyur, and that's honestly upsetting in a way. I tried every background and lighting and angle, including the benchmark cutscene itself, and still Fenrir's peachfuzz nose is just gone. I'm only including the comparison shots from the benchmark cutscene in this post, cause I feel like it's the most noticeable comparison and also a lot easier to ensure the angle and everything is as close as possible.
