Comparison: Left (YA Before Update) | Right (YA After Update). Same Zoi, Young Adult: Before vs After v0.8.0
Caption: Side-by-side of the same Zoi in the Young Adult stage before and after v0.8.0. Nothing was manually changed. The update has forced a ‘V-line’ narrowing onto the mandible. The face looks compressed and loses the original round/oval anatomical intent. After the update, the Young Adult jaw appears artificially narrower/pinched compared to the pre-update version.
Comparison: A row of 5 images: Teen → YA → Adult → Middle Age → Senior. Inconsistent Aging Morph Logic (Original Zoi)
Caption: Progression of the original, unadjusted sculpt post-update across life stages. Teen/Young Adult appear narrowed, while Adult and older stages widen/square the jaw dramatically. This suggests the issue is age morph behavior, not shader lighting.
Comparison: Top Row (YA manually adjusted to look like the ‘Before’) | Bottom Row (That same adjusted Zoi aged to Adult/Middle Age). Manual Correction vs. Aggressive Scaling. IThe Adjusted YA Jaw Looks Correct, But Aging Morph Breaks Adult Stages
Caption: I manually adjusted the YA jaw by widenning it and adjusting the cheek structure and mouth to restore her original lpre- update look (initially assuming a shader issue). However, when aged to Adult/Middle Age/Senior, the morph widens, deforms and squares the jaw excessively to a masculine sihouette. This proves manual correction at one life stage breaks the others, I cannot fix this.
Comparison: Left (Adult Screenshot Before Update) | Right (Adult Screenshot After Update)Same Zoi, Same Adult Stage: Before vs After v0.8.0. A THEORY
Caption: Same Zoi, same Adult age stage, same default CAZ lighting, zero user adjustments. The only change was updating to v0.8.0.This shows the new Adult morph after the update resembles the old facial structure of my orginal zoi more than the new Young Adult morph stage does. My theory: the original Young Adult jaw structure has been incorrectly mapped to the Adult stage in v0.8.0.
