Thread: Benchmark 1.1 Feedback - Viera

Face 3, Eye 5, Nose 1, and Mouth 2

I think he came out looking great with the updated changes. My only issue is his lack of the Viera Nose. I know face 3 was always a little shafted on this aspect but I was happy to see it standing out in the last bench. In the current benchmark, it is completely gone. As many have said before I think the easiest solution would be to allow all faces to have the toggle for it. I know not many like the unique nose but it is what makes them Viera.

Ngl I'm kinda shocked the other face 3 people are happy cause my boi losing his "rabbit nose" is a massive downgrade. Why even play a rabbit race if you don't want a rabbit feature :/

Visual examples:

Like I get people hate the "darkened nose" but I'd take the dark shading if he gets his rabbit nose back :/ I'm not sure why others are pleased with this change.

From what I've seen the lack of shading on male Viera noses for faces 2-4 is a common complaint even for those who're happy with most changes otherwise (myself included. Give me my bunny nose. It's part of Viera identity)

I'm overall happy and the new hairstyle looks sick on my WOL!
Though he doesn't look as pissed anymore, which im undecided on wether I prefer the older or new version. Also the nose has lost tons of bunny features. Hope it gets adressed.

last pic is with the other lips you requested.

Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Overall, that’s not that bad, except for the eyes when she smiles. I think I’ll keep the mouth 3 since it’s still relatively close to the one she has now.

For the shin colour, the new lighting renforce the grey and red subtones, so maybe I’ll switch back to her previous one.

Many many thanks again <3

All below feedback is in regards to Male Viera, Veena, Face 4
(Features selected: face 4, jaw 3, eye 3, eyebrow 1, nose 2, mouth 2)

I have prepared a breakdown of many subtle and less subtle changes that I notice have added up to create a face that is unrecognizable. Brightness on Endwalker screenshots has been increased in order to see details more clearly. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Eye Shape:

• The characteristic heavy/deep-set eyelid crease of the Endwalker graphics has been replaced with soft indistinct eyelid definition. The eyelid itself has a smoother upside down C-curve with a more upward slant in the outer half, whereas the previous graphics show an eyelid that slants upward in the inner third and then curves to slope slightly downward.
  
• The black liner outline that defines the eye shape is hardly visible and smaller compared to Endwalker graphics. It also slopes downward at the outer corner in the Dawntrail Benchmark 1.1, where previously it winged out further and went straight out and slightly upward. This changes the eye appearance drastically.
• The width of the eye socket appears to have narrowed due to changes to the shape of the black outline and the inner corner, as well as the thicker lower waterline.

These changes lead to an eye that appears less open and less defined in the Dawntrail Benchmark 1.1.







Eyebrows:

• The eyebrows are thinner and less visible in Dawntrail Benchmark 1.1 compared to Endwalker graphics. (See Above)

Eyeliner Tattoo:

• The eyeliner tattoo is hardly visible in the Dawntrail Benchmark 1.1. In Endwalker graphics, the tattoo has more opacity, lining the upper and lower lash lines and extending the outer corners. In Benchmark 1.1, it appears only faintly at the outer corners.
