White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

#36300310115 08/24/2007 17:31:12 White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Simply put, the White Avero Cuffed Trench has become the "Not So White Avero Cuffed Trench" since Update 54.

Observe:

Before

After

In Detail

The specularity changes that went out with this update seem to have dirtied up an otherwise nice clean coat. SMILEY

Can we get some bleach action, please?

I've come out of forum retirement to voice my support for bringing back the white coat.

You hear that Rarebit, you've awakened the sleeping giant! Fix it!

Hey, it almost matches the fedora now... Heh. Change it please, and actually make it white this time. SMILEY

#36300310155 08/24/2007 18:53:48 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Guh... This is why if your procedural tinting system can only darken, you have to start with a base texture that's actually white, instead of mucky...

Sigh. Well, I guess I can go in and clean that texture up. Yay. Maybe I'll touch up some of the silly bits around the shoulders while I'm at it.

#36300310158 08/24/2007 18:59:17 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

I like it.

Change the Dragonskin back too, its all dark and ugly looking.

It isn't a matter of "changing it back," it's having to go in and clean up a texture because the specular highlight effect ... eh blah blah blah. Anyway, the white thing is obviously a mismatch now and something I think I need to fix; these other things that were bright and super-duper-oil-slick-shiny in the last update were not supposed to be that way, and I'm not going to go in and brighten them all up now just because you adjusted your wardrobe based on the last update.

Also, Ballak, that image comparison you posted looks like two vastly different lighting scenarios (your front is in shadow in one, and lit in the other), anyway, so it's hard to tell what the actual difference is.

Good point, I'll go ahead and get a better light source.

Alright, here is the Post-Patch picture of the Brown Misene Leather Panel Trench. Compared to pre-patch, it's a lot darker. And yeah, I know you arn't going to go in and change each and every little change just because our personal ward-drobes got the sick, but before the super-oily patch came out, the Misene Leather Panel Trench, or at least the brown one anyways, did have a oily shine to it. Then in this patch it got toned down, and turned into a darker brown.

Hm, that one's just going to be that way, I think. The base texture is really pretty black, and eh well without a heavy shine on it, that's how it looks. I like the shine level it has now, so...well. You might try out an "Orange Misene Panel Trench," which is really more of a rich chestnutty brown.

#36300310219 08/24/2007 20:38:05 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Knew you were gonna put your foot down sooner or later about the texture/specularity changes Rare!

Such things exists?

So the journey begins...

In other items: the Ivora shirts were always slick, now they are dull. Any chance on reverting all of those exept the black one? The black one was always kinda dark gold, but looks much better now. The others are rubbish, though.

Before (Note, this was before any specularity changes at all, this screenie is from last year.)

After Update.

All the shininess in gone from the coat, looks kinda crap now. Time to make me a new purple suit

If you are reading this my sig didn't work T_T

#36300310652 08/25/2007 12:24:17 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Taking the shinyness from Misene Panel Trenches is blasphemy! The panel trenches have always had highlights (which makes sense considering the material of the panel trenches)!

I think it's dead sexy. No, not him, the coat. SMILEY

Good call on the Misene Panel Trenches. I was wearing my crimson one a day or two ago and I was wondering why it looked so.. flat. That must be why; all the shininess must have been missing.

They're suppose to be made of silk, thus shiny. Now they look bland (other than the Black, black looks amazing).

#36300312261 08/27/2007 23:37:01 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

I actually like the changes to the Brown Misene coat. The Dragonskin and the White Avero stuff has got to be fixed though.

You're dead to me.

-EDIT

Meh, I'm starting to sort of grow on the coat now. I guess it fits into the whole darker turn that the story has been taking, with the war and all. Gloves sort of stand out, but hey it's pretty good.

I have to agree with jonny this is some really funny stuff to read

#36300333281 10/04/2007 16:16:18 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Thanks for the fix, Rarebit. SMILEY

The texture is even cleaner than before.

#36300334131 10/06/2007 20:40:20 Re:White Avero Cuffed Trench (pre/post Update 54)

Indeed. Very nice work on the white trench, Rarebit.
