Re: New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Face
It just doesn't resemble the old model that well... and that edit shows my biggest concerns. The nose is a half nose - more akin to that of a canine than a bovine. The mouth hanging open wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't open ALL of the time. The eyes are also really red for some reason? And the chin is way too big, but that's not as big of a concern for me.
All of the fur patterns are simply copy-pasted from the males, as the spotty ones have exactly the same pattern as the males' (no more cute spotted legs). A lot of the colors are off, too.
You can see when the fem tauren is in motion how odd she looks with her mouth hanging open, compared to the males -
I know a lot of races still need tweaks, but I just hope tauren female get looked at, as well as human female. Otherwise I'm pretty happy with them all.

Really really not pleased.
Also my two undead still cannot be replicated and I'm not happy about that either.

Re: New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Face
The tauren thing is still very much small potatoes to me in comparison, I dunno. As far as model tweaks though, the male night elf has some real motor issues too; he runs very weird, and his jump's off too. And the female gnomes are still all really pissed off. Male trolls still don't look like they have a finished hi-rez skin texture either. It's so close to the wire I just don't know if they're going to address anything more, although I guess there's still hope when they put in the belfs that they'll make a pass at everyone.

Re: New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Face
Fem troll definitely bugs me the most (which is a shame because aside from the run, I think they look amazing - they did an awesome job updating them), and I haven't played enough of undead to have an opinion on their run.

THAT IS EXACTLY IT. The trolls are so bouncy that it looks like they have trouble staying on the ground! Plus they don't seem to use that huge leg length they have- they keep their legs mostly bent all the time, so it's like they're lightly jogging instead of actually running.Kayro wrote:However now they just look like the gravity on Draenor is off and they're struggling to stay on the ground

Planet of the Apes is what came to my mind, too.
The nose and upper lip of the new female Tauren model makes me think that whoever was in charge of the revamp looked at goats instead of cattle. I still can't figure out why they gave them that split upper lip. I'll admit that it's not uncommon to see cattles' lower front teeth when they've closed their mouths, but that doesn't explain why the poor Tauren girls can't close their mouths at all.

Re: New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Face
Though I'm a bit shocked at just how "zombie-ish" the new gnome and dwarf faces are.
They remind me of the gnome-enemies you fight at level 1 in the underground starter zone.

The eyes of the human females...no.
Gnomes...why so angry D=
My main character is a human hunter...if they doesnt change the eyes...well.. she will be used alot less
Re: New Character Models Discussion - Update! Fem Gnome Face
A lot of people have been grousing that instead of being exactly like they were, female tauren patterns are now 'copy pasted' from the males. The old models had specifically rendered skins, so they were unique to the model. Now, it appears that both genders of Tauren are accessing shared skin color files, ensuring consistency between genders. Same colors, same spot patterns, just tweaked over the model to fit.
Now, since Worgen are the only race with a gross dichotomy of skin colors (in fact, I think they're the only race that's different at all), the girls have about 10 or 12 skin color options, while the males have been stuck with a paltry 5. If they're sharing the same list, then the girls get the whole range of options (as they currently do) but the males are only drawing from the first five entries in the list, meaning they're all still well within the 'pale' range. Unless Blizzard gets off their butt and evens up the skin options, the way the skin resourcing code works means that worgen are just perma-shafted. Which really bloody well sucks. I don't know why the males get so screwed when it comes to options anyway; I complained about it bitterly in Cata (to no avail, obvs) but now it's coming back to make matters worse than they were.
