To SOGA or not to SOGA that was the question

[GregJZ]

Now since I like the human male SOGA (my character race) I was going to go with SOGA on human males. And I created a character of how I wanted him to look but when I took off SOGA to see what he looked like in current model set. He looked very umm slow I guess you can say.  The guy looked like he could be named Corky.But now people can control how the people see your character in both SOGA and the current model set.  I thought that was a great Idea <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

<DIV>I know JUST what you mean! lol I created a male human (like the haristyles etc better) then saw the non soga equivalent, and he looked soooo deformed!!!</DIV>

[Dimgroth]

aye, thats a great move to have two different ones, some of my soga creations looked highly deformed in U.S models <div></div>

<DIV>looks like the way to go is to create the non soga model the way you want him then do the soga conversion.   What concerns me is that when this goes live are people only going to get one chance to convert their non soga to a pleasing soga alternative?   If so I can hear the wailing now for mistakes not yet made.  :smileytongue:</DIV>

[Dimgroth]

oh thatll be highly annoying,  I must have remade soga on test about 5 times each to get it to look how I want in game and in creation. <div></div>

on test currently its set up as one time deal. <div></div>

<P>As of tonight I still get such a difference in the hair colors from soga creation screen to what appears in game.  If they don't fix this before it goes live they will have a ton of complains from angry people who suddenly have a completely different look in game then what they thought they picked.</P> <DIV>You can't just delete your main character and try again...</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hair colors really need to get fixed.</DIV>

I'm wondering why there isn't an option to show ALL model types.  It's either or.  I want to see SOGA and normal models at the same time.  Is this going to happen or am I just on crack <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Dimgroth]

actually, equip two torches, there, your hair is how its seen in creation, you just lack the lighting from creation upon entering world. <div></div>

They said displaying both model types at the same time would be a huge demand on systems and laggy. It would be adding 22 new models on top of the 30 already here. That's a lot of models to be trying to display on systems. It would cripple a lot of systems.
