I'll fucking bite. A thread about making female characters in games. This idiot/grifter/probably-feigning-outrage-doughboy really doesn't seem to get it, even apparently *as* a developer. TLDR: making the nuances of a gentler face can be a real tough one in game art.

I’d like to add that if you’ve ever heard an exec tell a painfully played out tale about “the hero’s journey” or a “wouldn’t it be cool if [insert tired trope]” you know about this phenomenon in games. One time an exec said to me “We want diversity. You know, elves with Afros”.

This is why many artists don't go off of scans, and when they do, there's a lot of post-scan editing, even for celebrities who may have been sampled, because you have to alter the shape and form to smooth out specific aspects. Even Johnny here isn't a 1:1 of Keanu.

Extreme shame about Concord and I just want to say that you can have a world class team, clever and unique gameplay, super appealing art and characters, highly optimized performance, cross play, and a pandemic causing players to be home all the time and still face challenges.

Lighting messes a lot with any geometry in games. ESPECIALLY when 3D scanning is involved. A scan will snag virtually any detail, and that detail is translated into depth, texture, volumes, etc which of course cast shadow. More severe angles will create harsher shadows.

Case in point when I worked on the Fiora rework. There was s h i t f i t had by gamers when we gave her a unique face, one that was stylized, but one that showed structure. So much of a shitfit that we caved to the demands. I did this paintover to make her more "pretty".
