Strange Face Dimensions

[ConstantTrouble]

Hi all, new to Fallout 4, loving the game so far & just getting into modding my character now as I felt the default character faces were a bit... funny looking ;)

 

Got an issue here though. Made my character in the face editor as such:

 

 

...but in 3rd person view, her face looks far wider:

 

 

Can't for the life of me work out why; its like the face magically gets wider as soon as you leave the editor. Could it be something to do with the face mesh LODs? I notice if I go into free-cam and zoom right up to her face it looks like the original picture again. Maybe it's just the FOV?

Either way- any suggestions to make her face look a bit less wide / round?

Short Answer:

It's an optical illusion.

 

Long Answer:

I has to do with the following things:

• FOV (perspective distortion)
• Lighting (and shadowing)

 

Look at the first picture. Her face is lit differntly compared to the lower picture where there are almost no shadows in her face. That makes her face look flat.

This and the FOV makes you think that her face is wider, but it isn't. Also the perspective on her is differently. Most of the time shots from the front look weird compared to shots that are more moved to the left or right.

Certainly a good illusion. Had me thinking I'd stuffed some kind of thing up with the mods. :ermm:

 

Thanks.
