Feedback Request: Operator Face & Head Art Remaster

[[DE]Juice]

Hello Tenno!

As mentioned during Devstream #183, Operators were originally released all the way back in 2015, which means next year they will be using tech and assets which are a decade old. While we are not promising any changes just yet, we wanted to check with the Warframe Community on what an ‘Operator Face & Head Art Remaster’ might look like to you. This is referring specifically to the Operator and not the Drifter.

• What do you think would be a 'must-have' in an Operator Face/Head Art Remaster? Would you rather see us improve existing faces or redesign them?
• Are there any Operator Face/Head customization improvements you'd like to see us make in the future?
• Do you have any small changes you would like to see that you think would make a big impact to Operator Face/Head customization?

NOTE: This feedback is specific to Operator Head/Face aesthetics only. We are not looking for feedback on the Focus System, or feedback about Drifter aesthetics.

Again, we want to reiterate that we are not promising any specific changes, we want to hear what is most important to you before exploring what is possible.

Please leave your feedback here (or on our mirrored posts in Discord and on Reddit) as we’ll be reading everything in these threads, but cannot guarantee we see your feedback if it is elsewhere.

A Sims-like face creator would be really cool, if that's at all on the table.

[musa7860]

burn it all. but mostly the hair and the babyface.

[theDino03]

[Jinsoyun]

please give a face rework with better skintones and better bodysliders for the operators and better hairstyles would love to have warframe 1999 hairs for operator and drifter some of these hairs they have need a rework along with the makeup types

I do my best to hide my Operator/Drifter faces with facial cosmetics, since the face and hair are so ugly to me. So feel free to completely remake them.

[ExcaliburSpecter]

i would like somatics to stay and also to note i would like somatics to be usable on drifter

[TrueProdigyy]

As someone who is LR4 they need a rework enhance all the features rework them from the ground up and make them look more 2024/2025ish

[Eldre]

Personally, the thing that *REALLY* attatches me to the feeling of "Operator" is the Somatic burns. That's the only thing I would need to stay in an update.

[RAPHYART]

As a person of African-American heritage, i shouldn't have to pay 20 platinum for an afro option. So please add more diverse base hair options for more inclusivity

One thing I would be sad to see go is if my operator lost her face and voice I've had since I made her. If there's a way to keep those, along with the Raven voice, I'll be happy.

[RIVAN189]

The hair in particular (facial and head) feels grainy in contrast to all the smooth graphics.

[Sol-Tenebris]

I feel like just basic Texture quality updates would go a long way.

[CephQuerneu]

I would love to see full customization with specific face parts, like nose slider, eyes, eyelashes, mouth... (sliders, sliders for me, for you, sliders for everyone!)

[Ste11arVI]

I feel like most of the OG hair styles could use some TLC and perhaps tone down the oiled up skin 

[RemoVII]

In all honesty I am not very attached to my operator and would love to see new faces and hear new voices.

[AlexZu77]

separate coloring hair, beard, and eyebrows

Operators have always looked like potatoes. The A/B face blend tech doesn't have nice-looking base faces, but more fundamentally than that it just isn't an accurate way to get a desired face. I don't know if better base faces alone would improve this but that might be a good first step. Otherwise, lots of other games have much deeper facial customization tools so it's not like it would be uncharted territory to add direct sliders so we can make whatever we want.

I wouldn't want to see any cosmetic options disappear, like Reb mentioned Somatics which I think are cool. That said not all of it looks good so a refresh would be welcome. For example a lot of the hair options feel very old, which they are. You obviously can't just delete them since they're all paid, but I think it'd be fine if the same style were kept just with new meshes/materials.

One thing I would absolutely hate to lose is my skin tone. If you'll recall, a bug briefly allowed us to choose our own skin tones using any color off any color palette. You took that away (lame) but at least left alone the skin tones people had already selected this way. Either bring that back as a feature or leave existing selections alone.

RE DO WOOO!!!

[Raikigi]

full body type customization for size and shape!

[AGS37]

I would be very happy if the face editor would look like in The Sims 4

as it is the original, leave as is

[Gensou25]

I'd rather have a whole new look, I'm sorry but the faces are just so ugly. I'm ok with loosing mine, I put a mask on so I don't have to look at the ugly faces. Blending makes everything worse, hairs are awful. So I'm all for a rework. Please lol. 

[ChaoticOrderly]

More hairstyles and make all hairstyles equal, some don't have physics or modern textures.
