She said she was an "all holes" girl.

Little did I realize what I was getting myself into.

It wasn't long after I made my first billion isk that she called me... the woman of my dreams from the past. She told me she loved me, she always loved me and we could travel the stars together forever. But I could see right through her...

When i logged in yesterday, my character was wearing a jacket. Wrong, Zimmy did not wear a jacket before the patch. So I went into character recustomization just to remove that jacket. No problem, everything worked fine.
Then I logged into the forum and it melted my face..... What?



I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Aha!
Built this avatar last night (post-patch, obviously) to check our Amarr captains' quarters, noted weird shadows this morning.

Fix was deployed this evening to address the character shadow mess-up. The rendering servers are back online and hopefully will render everything fairly soon.

There also lies a problem with the new character models. I've noticed you've smoothed them over, which in turn gives them more rounded edges instead of pointy ones from some camera angles. This would be a good thing but it has in fact changed physical attributes to what people originally made them like. Saw some guy (lol) who had smaller and more rounded boobs, (as do i now) but the facial structure has changed aswell. This seems to be causing some problems with shadow mapping i'm guessing.

Not that i have any clue on how 3d light mapping works etc but the problems seems to originate from the (more triangles?/meshes?whateverthefrackyoucallit that improves visual quality of a 3d object drawn by a computer program) improved character body models.

I was also wearing a jacket that i did not do before, the hair/body physics seem to get messed up after you take it to portrait mode and change/turn the body position causing the hair to fall through the body. Hair simply forgets the law that a body has mass. Tried to fix it by going back into clothing & make-up but the problem now persisted into that part of the engine too. Exited char engine completely and returned to it again; snapshot engine completely forgets what stance and facial expression was used and resets to neutral completely.

(edit; side question: why did the other color scheme versions of nex clothing as on SiSi (only in market/apparel) did not make it into release? looked like it worked just fine to me?)

Do we have to recustomize again for the fix to take effect or will it work automatically?

edit...looking at the new portrait....suddenly:


..........me gusta. Straight


Zimmy is actually the only character here where the "shadow fuckup" actually looks cool.

There are number of small little things broken in this patch now, but I'll keep with the picture problems... So, I've been struck with the weird shadows too - albeit not as bad as others - and for some reason my lipstick is always black. And when it renders in the image server it's white/grey. At least I don't revert to the Incarna first version of me everytime, kudos for that.

Edit: Oh, also, light controls have stopped working for me (namely the brightness and type, directions work fine.)


Oh, and I did re-customize my character yesterday seeing as I had body modifications and clothes I wasn't supposed to have.

It happened after recostumization after the patch. I also have this issue:

That is most certainly a feature.

By the way is breathing new? I don't remember this before (mostly because doors can't breathe)


I'm pretty sure breathing was part of the original ambulations and renderings, the angle just wasn't something you were going to get prior to the camera adjustments. I wasn't quite looking for that up close when I spun the camera around but I was impressed at how realistic it looked.
