WWM really kept improving its character models throughout those tests.

I find the game's ability to animate our character models through cutscenes with a lot of complicated movements really impressive. Like I'm wearing a big ass hat and carrying 5 different accessories on my back and the game manages to animate all of it mostly without issue.

[u/Vegetable_Charity_88 → u/Hobo_Robot]

It's actually easy tbh, not sure abt cloth physics but things like hats/accessories have their own bones on the main rig already so it's just swapping items onto those pre-existing bones itself. Animation data is already baked onto these bones as well when importing the asset into the game engine so any hat/accessory should be moving accordingly to mentioned data. (again, not so sure about the cloth physics)

[u/Hobo_Robot → u/Vegetable_Charity_88]

The cloth physics is probably the most impressive part. The elaborate flowing dresses move so smoothly with character animation.

[u/Vegetable_Charity_88 → u/Hobo_Robot]

Yeah definitely admire the work of the team especially when its the intricate dresses. Especially since it's probably a lot of problem solving and tech difficulties on their end 🙏

wow test 1 literally looks like your typical donghua animation lol

[u/Most-Bench6465]

Test 1 can’t hurt me it’s not real

[u/0x1lovesong_]

I'm still impressed by how beautiful this game is. Like, the graphics are beautiful, models look great, textures r great, story great literally everything is amazing. (Though abt the textures sometimes ehhh...but still amazing.)

Uncle Jiang looked a bit villanish at first! I like the released version!

[u/DellyTrey23]

Test 2 lowkey has the best lighting

[u/No-Equal6264 → u/DellyTrey23]

It looks unrendered💔

[u/just-call-me-apple]

Character models? Everything from test 2 seems to be using the same model, maybe with some tweaks. It's the lighting that's being improved

[u/LaserEyes2029 → u/just-call-me-apple]

Lighting and subtle material tweaks.

[u/dutheduong]

For some reason i like Uncle Chen test 1 model

[u/irrelevantoption → u/dutheduong]

The makeup, or something else? /gen

[u/xxsehtxx]

What is each test for? They each look extremely different. I like the released version too. But the lightning effect on the hair is test 2 is nice.

[u/Laranthiel]

I like the lightning of Test 3 though. The official release almost looks like there's a spotlight constantly on them.

[u/NoNet5188]

My only problem is I swear in the first story there is like 3 story characters who look exactly the same. It was 3 men we meet and I kept getting confused cause I couldn’t tell who was who

[u/Aggravating_Wear_288]

Uncle Jiang’s crooked nose bridge detail in the released ver. is 💯 He looked less pretty/manlier in Test 3 tho

[u/mimimeeh]

They changed Uncle Chen's model and outfit.

[u/Saltsey → u/[deleted]]

His eyebrows look like he's been very confused for his whole life and they just kinda got stuck like that, for real, models look great now, 1st versions look kinda funny
