Color shifts in Photoshop work like this:
Select what you want to change.
Ctrl+U
Move the slider.
Any idiot can do it.
I personally like the full outfit but it does leave a lot to be desired in its modular-ability. I would not object to seeing the various glowing NPC accessories added as options for it though, and Iâd like them (and every race heritage armor set) to have both a robe chest option and non-robe chest option. Which in turn necessitates that Blizzard STOP putting flat textured âsocksâ as footwear for robe sets. Itâs a lazy shortcut they take because the boots arenât seen beyond the feet with a robe.
You can see the travesty this caused with the Blood Elf heritage armor when you use the non-robe chest option and find that your âbootsâ are actually flat âsocksâ with no geometry, when they should have 3d assets like the gloves and match them in bulk and design.
Right now the whole Nightborne heritage armor is basically the robe, shoulders and hat. The gloves are lazy. The boots are lazy. And even the pants are lazy, as they are devoid of most features (because the artists thought that would be ok because you donât see them with the robe on).
We are playing in the age of transmog and have been for some time. The artists need to design every piece with the thought of them being used individually and not just with their intended set. We used to get boots with actual 3d geometry with cloth robe sets back in the day. You can see it with sets like Arcanist, and Netherwind. As time has gone on, they artists have swapped to flat âsocksâ nearly every chance they get with robe sets and its not fair.

They do, but considering Blizzard couldnât be bothered to simply swap the heads on some models to give them the correct eyes, my faith in them is lacking.
LikeâŠthey could have EASILY given nightborne more skin colorsâŠbutâŠnope.
All it would have taken is to simply type 01 instead of 03 to fix it. Its soâŠlazy!
Unless the way theyâve designed the game is so horrendous simple changes become complicated.
Yep.
As an aside I have been boredly remaking wow things from scratch in blender for the lulz. I made Benediction and stuff.
this hairstyle, and human skin colors, are the only things i wanted from blood elves. i didnt care about blue eyes or even blonde hair. iâd have been happy with gnome hair colors or talendrionâs 2 colors melding, idea. i wouldnt mind if we didnt have blonde or red hair colors, though iâd love black, white, and pastels, like light pink, light blue, light purple, and neon colors. i didnt want their dance or their idling animation.
this is my fav hairstyle
I really should get back into playing with Blender. It is an excellent way to kill time.
Well that hairstyle isnât exclusive to Blood Elves. Humans have it as well.
yeah i use it on my humans too. its just straight, center parted, rather long and to a point, in the back.
boy iâd love a velf hairstyle like morticia addams, long, straight, down to the bum, hair.

Since we have no sliders whatsoever in wow, that seems like the most unlikely scenario to me.
None of WoWâs customizations work on a slider scale, they are all individual assets mixed and matched differently.
As for leaving gaps, tendrils are actually separate from the hair tbh, so far I havenât found an outright gap, but some do feel like they are missing something in terms of shape, if that makes sense.
Gimme a bit to compile some screens

I love two of the new male Blood Elf hair styles! I think there are 3? I only like 2, short options and one has a crown! I love a good crown!

Not sure what thatâs supposed to mean. Both sides have stated what they wanted over the years. Blizzard declined to make Alliance High Elves their own separate race and gave us Void Elves instead with extended options come Shadowlands. As the Rolling Stones sang, you donât always get what you want.
All the options are being converted to sliders actually.
It just flips between the different options.
I like the short male hair with the side wave that Blood Elves are getting. Iâm super envious of them over that, especially since Iâm not expecting any hair, let alone their new hair to be shared with Void Elves. But stranger things have happened.
Thatâs not really what people mean when they say âslidersâ though.
A slider actually changes the size/shape of something little by little as you âslideâ the bar back and forth. What wow is doing isnât a slider, its just a âone after the otherâ selection of different options.
Aionâs body malleability is a slider. WoW has no sliders, not now, nor in Shadowlands.

Eh, what I mean is that they are not actually sliders, it just toggles different options; itâs not sliders on the true sense of the world (like, say, Sims sliders where they alter the shape within parameters, like fat<->thin.)
Itâs more like mix and match with available assets, so I really donât know what you mean by a âcorruptionâ slider. At most to be that would look like segregating certain customization options, like bundles? What do you mean by a âcorruption sliderâ?

A slider is just a type of âbuttonâ that slides along a path. Thatâs what we are getting.
