New Ryo & Shenhua models from press release

I like the idea that Shenhua just takes her scarf off when they reach her house. After all it would make sense to put it aside then, being more comfortable and everything. The problem with the model right now is that the rest of the clothes don't match her Shenmue II attire though they do match the one in the Kickstarter promo.

It would be nice if we do get more changing in the clothing during the course of the game. In Shenmue Ryo at least took his jacket off and I hope they bring that back and make it a fully on screen animation. With Shenhua taking off her scarf at home it would also be nice to see her take off her hat along with it aswell.

We really have. Really shouldn't lose perspective at this point.

I'm sure some people may say E3 2015 Shenhua is better but I really can't see it. She needs more work than Ryo right now, but she's verging a lot closer to an ideal than the old model.

So, can we have that poll to determine which character models are the best? I suggested it in the trailer thread but I guess no one noticed it.

Nah.

The logo poll was allowed because Yu solicited opinions, and it'll be a helpful metric to pass on.

This thread is sufficient if you want to talk models. There's even a separate thread for edits. Beyond that, anything else is basically redundant.

Yep it's pretty much light and day. But those were done prior to the KS funding so that's to be expected, they've had 2 years to get it to the current state. While not perfect it's getting close.

Besides Ryo's tan, I'm pretty cool with the way he is. He's gone from white guy to south american, they'll get his Asian colours back soon.

Shenhua, she's just different but same and I don't mind the new Shenhua, she's still cute and looks the part.

I think the reason why I do like Shenhua is she does infact look like this version of Shenhua, with a few tweaks to the eyes and nose it's pretty close.

Ryo looks miles better. The new Shenhua model looks better in some shots than others but still needs a ton of work.

From the Game*Spark interview with Yu:

YS: We still have a lot of work to do on Shenhua.


So at least they recognise the work left to be done.

While important, especially for Shenmue, I think character models are currently priority number 10 to YS.

It doesn't matter how great some of these might be if the open world is shallow.

We spent around 20 pages to discuss how they should make Ryo look as if they have no clue...

Well, to me, this Ryo looks almost perfect.

The eyes and the low-poly ruin everything but the model is actually good. The 3D artists can be proud of them.

It's closer to the DC version than the CG, he looks younger while in the CG he looks older, it's very fine to me (though I also like a lot the promo images).

It's not really lowpoly

I don't know the reason but he looks like a doll. I think YSnet still aims a slightly more complex face including lips.

The chin doesn't look 100% natural, the lips need more complexity, the nose is basically a cylinder and the skin texture strengthens the low-poly feeling.

Show these pictures to a non-Shenmue fan, he is likely to be shocked.

That's total nonsense. I'm all for legit criticism, but that shot of Ryo looks great.
