In the Character Creator, when on the second page were you make your portrait, the reflection of light in the eyes persists independently of a direct light source. So that even if the eye is in a shadow, there is still light reflection generated on the eye. I’ve included a screenshot. [Eye reflect…

Seems there is a very faint fourth light source in the character creation room. My guess is this is intentional to make the eyes seem more lively and realistic, not a bug. Just pretend there is a small reflective object in the back of the room behind the camera. If you want it gone, have you tried…

It’s too bright to be intentional. It’s clearly a bug as it’s full light reflection where there should be none. SWTOR had a similar issue a few years back that the devs eventually corrected. All the characters in cut-scenes looked like Goa’uld from Stargate SG-1. This bug makes it impossible to obsc…

I opened a bug report and this was the response. Created: 10/5/2021 10:56:44 AM CCP Dev Greetings! Thank you for reaching out. This is currently by design. We have a pre-made cubemap for eye reflections (due to the very basic lighting and no environment to render available in the character port…

As I said, intentional. It’s an easy way to make the eyes look more realistic by pretending the eyes reflect a light source, without actually calculating accurate reflections. Yes, it may unintentionally light up your eyes in a completely dark setting as a side effect, but there are ways to avoid …

[image] zKillmonger: @Mike_Azariah @Brisc_Rubal The least they could do is remove the additional reflections entirely as they are unnecessary even when properly lit. A simple quick fix. The inherent lighting of the iris/pupil, in and of itself, is enough. Can you gentlemen bring this up. In m…

[image] zKillmonger: The effect in and of itself is of course put there on purpose, but to say it’s supposed to have a full reflection in total darkness is intellectually dishonest. If the portraits were always created in low resolution and you could see the pixels, is ‘being able to count th…

Just because the game cannot do what you want it to do does not make something a bug. Portrait reflections (in eyes and eyewear) have a static image that does not vary with your light settings. Why it is like that, I cannot tell you for sure, but I do guess it’s much easier to create a static refle…
