    Benchmark Feedback - Midlander F Self-Shadowing broken with certain hairstyles.

    I noticed some weird lines caused by shadows when trying the benchmark. It appears that some hairstyles cause the self-shadowing to break when viewed at certain angles in directional natural light. I've had a few other people replicate this on different machines, so it's not something to do with my own rig. Oddly enough, when switching from midday to evening light, the artifact appears to stay briefly in the transition then disappears when the evening lighting takes effect.

    Here is an example of the transition using Midlander Hair 2, the odd shadow distortion appears on the right sight of the face.



    And a close up

    This happens regardless of face type chosen but is affected differently by certain hairstyles.



    It is also not limited to the Shroud lighting environment. I don't have a picture of the La Noscea lighting, but it was also pretty prominent in there. The one place I didn't notice it was in the Inn Room environment, which is what leads me to believe it has something to do with the sun light source position.


    As for the hairstyle itself, I have not looked over the others, but as a middie using hairstyle 2, there is a graphical glitch still that was present in the first benchmark where a line is apparent . For the dozens of us out there using this hairstyle, it would be nice to have this fixed.
