Ugly, dirty and weathered textures on warframes

[NightmareT12]

I recommend to report these under the 29.3.1 Bug megathread -- there's a category for textures that like Ash, Valkyr, etc., since, as I already said earlier, these had to do with compression and had (and still have) to be reshipped. So Ash, Valkyr, Nova and Vauban should be reported there.

I think the best thing to do is for everyone to push the ability to customise warframe textures.

So I`ll say this;

If anyone want the ability to be able to customise warframe texture finish, leave a like.

Mirror effect dissapeared ( void missions - enhanced beta engine). It is present on classic engine.

Spoiler

Low resolution and high compressed textures. It look much much bad than before shrink of the game size. This will not be welcome by new players too. And again, i dont remember that someone complained that game looks too good and it need some adjustments in order to look bad. 40 Gigs was lower than majority of new games on the market and no one with minimal PC specs shouldn't complain about size of the game.

[(PSN)Maunstre]

As of Deimos Arcana release on console, Nidus Phryke has been updated with a ridiculously over-stated, detail-flattening texture that ruins the skin and makes it look dirty.

Comparison below:

Pre-Arcana:

Post Arcana:

This ugly texture reduces all non-metallic / non-phantasm bodyparts to "dirty stone", including the flesh of the shoulders, when it's clear that is not what Phryke is made of.

Additionally, the texture severely dampens any chosen colour and flattens / drowns out model detail. Ridges, teeth, and general detailing is smoothed and drowned out with this black texture. The fact that the texture is applied with no depth and just slapped on wholesale throughout three full colour channels just makes its application look lazy; the texture makes the skin overall look dirty and flat, like the skin's features need to be hidden somehow. If the intent was to give a sense of "weathering", the mark has been missed by a mile. The skin just looks dirty, like it's been blasted with dirt and never washed.

Please remove this texture or lighten its effect. This is not what I paid for when I bought this skin. If the skin had come with such a heavy-handed texture from the onset, I would have never bought it.

welcome to DE global and universal implementation of PBM, where the only source of art that exists in the universe is the Quarrie Tatooine concepts from Star Wars.

"PBM" has been mentioned a lot over the last half a year's worth of updates (mostly in the form of complaints) - would you be able to explain what PBM is? I've tried looking for myself, but PBM seems to be a relatively common acronym. I know it has something to do with rendering, but this looks more like a problem with someone being extremely careless with textures than specific rendering?

[-Kittens-]

PBR stands for Physically Based Rendering

 

https://marmoset.co/posts/basic-theory-of-physically-based-rendering/

 

And there's nothing careless or lazy about DE's usage of it; quite the opposite, this is what happens when someone has a tutorial-to-application fetish and decides the entire output of a game needs to look like the outside of the Millennium Falcon, whether the context is appropriate for the subject matter or not.

 

[Roble_Viejo]

Yeah, they messed up a lot of skins.

The deluxe skin looks nice but I don`t really like Gara that much for one, two of her abilities are stationary and If a warframe has more than one stationary ability that's a turn off for me. Yh that`s a strait up lie the pic looks better than it in-game, that`s deceiving.

I'd love to revert back to before the ensmallening  (and deadlock changes) because the game used to look so sleek but now, in complete and total honesty, it looks like crap. I didn't mind the game taking up the space it did. I'd happily opt-in to have my 'unoptimized' textures back rather than these compressed and poorly detailed shams.

This looks better  (the left part), except missing blue efect from shoulders. It is more detailed, the lights are better and it looks like a real piece of stone. That dirty effect render more realistic the aspect of the stone...

[RashFever26]

I just wonder, was this texture change even intentional at all? Why does DE not even acknowledge it? As a player that came back after Deadlock Protocol (when these changes took place) I feel wholly scammed because I thought that the Deluxe skins (especially the Liger ones like Nidus Phryke) were supposed to be this... dusty and the promotional images were just better renders. But no! It's a full on scam.

I agree,the game and warframes look way worst now, levels have these damn fog that don´t let you see, the  "improve" lighting  makes everything look overexpose and frames look old rusty

i get your point but personally don´t like crappy move of changing stuff after purchase, and the lighting look cool for screenshots but for general gameplay i found it annoying  and tiresome

I think they are, look at the most recent warframes all look dirty and weathered, DE hasn¨t acknowledge anything the just took the money and run with it, i even report all of this to the Great Ensmallening Part 2 Bug Report Megathread but no answer neither

 Here are some photos off nidus before and after

another bite the dust, for me looks like the same crappy style DE use on ash, ember, nova,valkyr ,vauban  dimmer colors, white edges everywhere, this is so bad that the antialiasing makes the warframe look wet, and if you use clear colos look dirty and if you use darker color has white edges and spots
