[Dawntrail Benchmark v1.1] Miqo'te Eyes Shading Error

[Tahli]

The iris of all Miqo'te characters have dark lines in direct lighting. It is more noticeable on female Miqo'te due to their larger eyes, and moreso on Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te due to their large pupil and small section of visible iris.
This was not present in previous versions, and appears to be a lighting/shading bug that takes away proper visibility of eye colors, and gives a jarring appearance. Additionally and perhaps connected to this is how Miqo'te eyes in Benchmark 1.1 seem to have a faint grey overlay that muddies the colors of the eye.

Comparison between versions (Endwalker, DT Benchmark 1, DT Benchmark 1.1). Taken facing direct sunlight in La Noscea setting.


Matching eye colors of both Moon Keeper and Sun Seeker, with a shadow over one eye, and direct light in the other. Taken in Thanalan setting.

Date & Time: 6/16/2024 7:03PM
Frequency: Always. Noticeable in direct lighting

Steps:
1. Load FFXIV Dawntrail Benchmark v1.1
2. Go into character creation and select a Miqo'te, male or female of either clan.
3. Any features can be selected, but the setting of the examples above are Female Moon Miqo'te, Face 2, Eye 6, Small iris, Eyebrow 2.
4. Rotate character to see how eyes differ in different lightings.
