Asset Quality

Perhaps this is my perception, but the images of some of the new items going into R44 don't seem to be of the same quality as others in that line. Just for example:


Here is the Viking 2-Story Stronghold. It has some excellent visuals, especially the constrast between the polished (brown) and painted (green) wood sections, and the teal inlays.


The new palisade wall that is designed to enclose a Viking stronghold, on the other hand, has overly bright orange and brown wood, and teal. Is this just the difference of shadows on the wall, or does is appear that strikingly different in-game as well?

Similarly, the new Shogun ship looks like it just rolled off a construction line somewhere. Contrast that with the pirate ship, which is much more lived-in.



Not to be completely negative, I do want to say that the new scenes, wearables, and weapons look excellent! Just wanted to voice my concern, which perhaps is just overly reactive to the images. If it looks better in-game, then please accept my apologies.

Thanks.

 

Clearly not applying lighmaps properly yet. Think this won't make live as is.
