The recent rework to Kubrow fur really feels like a downgrade and step in the wrong direction. Not only are fur colors misrepresented with the new fur, but it also just looks... bad. It looks matted, or like feathering than actual fur. Even worse when the Kubrow is emoting, where it looks like some kind of carapace or shell that's connected on in segments and pieces rather than a cohesive whole. If I was told it was because the game was trying to render an LOD model, I'd believe it. Even at distance, the fur all blends together into a low-definition, low-quality silhouette of your companion. Additionally, the fur is constantly making little micro-movements, as if it's being blown around at all times.
Attached is my big buddy, Uber, pre- and post-update for comparison, both taken in the same spot to maintain consistency. [Spoilered for size]
Pre-change:
And post-change: [they even changed the color of the hairless portions of the skin]
There's been no alterations made by myself to his pattern or colors between the two updates, and yet the drastic difference is noticeable. If there was the option to change back to the previous Kubrow fur I would take it in a heartbeat, but until then I'm not going to have my Kubrow present in any instance and marking down my feedback of this rework as a massive negative mark.
Look at him, look how they massacred my boy.
