Upcoming Model Preview Images
Added 2025-02-01 09:43:34 +0000 UTCHere are 19 images that each demonstrate something that the upcoming character model is capable of.
The first image shows off the new face texture - you'll notice that there is no longer a line for the nose. To be honest with you, I always thought that the line on the nose looked goofy. I think that the character's nose looks much better with just a shadow, rather than a line that only looks good from one specific angle and looks horrible from every other perspective.
The next image demonstrates how the upcoming model's updated eyebrows can help a character be more expressive. That expression would never have been possible with the old model!
The next 16 images each demonstrate one of the new "anime effects" that have been created for the new model. The idea is that, sometimes, we might want to completely hide a character's 3D eyes and replace them with a stylized 2D graphic representing a typical anime expression, such as a O_O face, a >_< face, a shadow over the face, hearts for eyes, sparkling eyes, or an effect hovering around the character's forehead that represents surprise, anger, or exhaustion.
If you're looking at any of the current anime-style effects and thinking, "I don't like how that one looks!" please don't worry. Most of these are placeholders and are almost certainly going to be updated a bit before they actually appear in-game.

The hairstyle "faithful to the official artwork" was too plain. It was almost just a single color with a simple highlight. It was way too basic. I prefer the hair model featured above much more. There is a possibility that, in the future, a modeler may create a superior hair model, which will replace the current hair model. However, it is somewhat unlikely.

However, in the screenshot you have just published, she is using her current hairstyle; has the model with the 2023 hairstyle been discarded?
