Eyebrows Use Plastic Material Instead of SmoothPlastic

Issue Description

The “Whistle” and “Err…” Dynamic Heads use a Plastic material for their eyebrows, instead of the expected SmoothPlastic material. This inconsistency affects the overall look of the face and doesn’t align with the rest of the art style.

Reproduction Steps

  1. Equip the “Whistle” or “Err…” Dynamic Head.
  2. Observe the eyebrows closely.
  3. Notice that the eyebrows are made of Plastic material rather than SmoothPlastic.

Expected Behavior

The eyebrows should be made of SmoothPlastic to match the rest of the head’s art style and material consistency. This also applies to their colors as they are not following from the rest of the facial expressions, being dark.

Thank you for the report. This is an acknowledgement message. We have assigned to our team for further review.

@starhiker13 This report was closed. Are there any explanations as to why? This is not following the design of the rest of the facial expressions such as the lips and eyes.

I really hope this isn’t intended lol

Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing your report, the behavior you described is intentional and aligns with our design choices and hence closed.

You got to be kidding right? How is this even intentional?!
Tell me what is the difference between the two.

Hello, I don’t believe this is intentional, Plastic does not look correct on dynamic head
Here’s close comparison between Plastic and SmoothPlastic, smooth plastic is smooth and does not have a texture

I agree, although this might align with the design choices this just seems to be incorrect when compared with other Dynamic Heads?

Lol, it appears in some cases the team just has resorted to lying that it’s “intentional” behaviour when they in fact just aren’t going to or maybe can’t fix it, why that is just not stated instead however, is beyond me.

The end result would stay the same but some proper clarity/honesty would be nice, instead of saying “Yeah this is a design decision” when it clearly isn’t, if it actually was then these ‘design choices’ are incredibly questionable.

Does it not resemble the roughness of actual eyebrows? I don’t see how you can be the artbiter of intentionality for something you did not design, especially after the people in contact with the actual designers have said it is intentional (even if you dislike how it looks).

In this specific case, maybe, but I highly doubt that truly applies to all that have been labeled intentional design, for example: Eternal Top Hat Has Many Seams In Its Texture

I don’t have an issue with these items not always being fixed, I don’t know the true process so I can’t really blame them for any of it, but labeling something as intentional design when in some cases it clearly isn’t, seems a little dishonest, if they outright just said they wouldn’t be fixing it instead of backing it up with that claim, I’d have no issues with it

I’d rather you say straight to my face “yeah we’re not gonna fix this, too much effort” instead of “nah this looks fine”

Why are these faces in specific chosen to be different than other dynamic heads?

Would also like to point out that this conflicts with and pretty much insults the original designs of these faces. (The classic faces, not dynamic)

If they said it’s intentional, then it is. I don’t understand what other meaning you can take from it. They already mention at times that they can’t fix certain things. If you follow bug reports periodically, you must have noticed this.

Can’t fix and intentional do not hold the same meaning. I’m arguing semantics here so I suppose I’ll leave it at that

That’s literally what I said, though. This is intentional, and if they can’t fix something, they say they can’t fix that bug. So, they’re not brushing it off by saying it’s intentional, and it doesn’t mean it’s a bug they can’t fix. That’s what I meant.
