New Benchmark Feedback: Midlander Hyur Females

[OgruMogru]

I don't see a lot of Midlander females, so decided to make a thread for feedback for the new benchmark released today (June 3rd). Please feel free to post your feedback for Midlander females here too, regardless of what face you use.

I was reasonably happy with the previous benchmark version, but not this one. Here is a comparison, 6.5 (live game) vs the new benchmark:



I'm not really sure what to say here. She looks so different to me, it is like the new lighting highlights her features in the worst way (ex: emphasizes the nose bridge, and the undereye area makes her look tired in anything but the best light I could find, which is this). She was so cute, and now she is much less so, to my eyes.

+ a small note in regards to the lips: in both versions she has "light" lip color. However in the new benchmark, I noticed that there is a glossy/reflective effect even when I choose no lip color at all.

Any more opinions/feedback about Midlander females is welcome.

I have noticed that a lot of midlander fem faces have a melty lower lash on the bottom outer corner. It's like their false lashes are starting to peel away at the end of a night out. It's changing the shape of the bottom lids on a lot of eye types and making them look saggy and palsy like.

Going to shamelessly copypaste my post from the other thread:

Bearable as long as I don't glance towards a light source! This is the result of turning a few degrees. Why is she so tired?!

By the way, I notice the hair is only high res and wirey when zoomed in all the way. When zoomed in a little, only the hair closest to the camera is high res. Is there a graphics option for this?

There's also an alpha transparency issue with hair overlapping hair in sunlight as you can slightly see above her forehead in the second image. In motion this looks much worse, but I haven't played with settings to figure out what's doing it.

I am unsure where my lovely pale gloss has gone as every lip colour to be beige/brown. I usually favour face 2 but the lovely pout she had is gone and I can not get the shine on her lip right. I am overall happy but there is a slight change to the nose on face 1 and the lips seem flat on the races I made.

yes i can agree with you, even the previous benchmark much more better :3

I do see the differences between the two pictures, but they all look like improvements to me. The image on the left is much more cartoonish than the right. The image on the right looks much more alive, but this might actually be unwelcomed to some players. The face shape and eye shape a very similar, and only the lips are vastly different. The most important thing though is that I can tell it's the same character. If this was my Hyur, I would be content with the update, but everyone is going to feel differently.

Personally im not a fan of face 5 midlander chicks, but the pics in the op show as improvements across the board for me. I use face 1 and I'm pretty happy with the changes in 1.1 vs 1.0 bench, although it'll take some getting used to. Looks like my character is A LOT younger than the current version, and I'm not really a big fan of controlling a teenage girl looking avatar. Hopefully they can add a touch up to make them look like actual adults instead of high school graduates

I really dislike the changes to face 1 midlanders

They went way too strong on the shadows.

Benchmark 1.0


Benchmark 1.1



As you can see, 1.1 was updated with stronger shadows that are way too strong for those faces. Benchmark 1.0 had it spot on.

She was so cute, and now she is much less so, to my eyes.

Edit to clarify: a big reason she looks less cute to me is because her expression looks different, especially the mouth. She looks like she has a touch of a smile before, but in the benchmark it is gone and combined with the undereye area she just looks bored and tired.

I can see the dissimilarities to my character too. Differences in size of the nose, philtrum, and lips stand out to me the most. I'm not going to flat out say it's ugly, but it's certainly different and very noticeable (at least to me). Yeah, it looks like my character but at the same time it's not, lol.

Face 5 has a sharper, skinnier cheek line compared to before. I'm not the first one to point it out, but I want to also chime in that it changes my impression of my character which I do not want.
