Teeth in video games
- Thread starter chaobreaker
- Start date
I could have sworn Binary Domain had a trailer with a screaming robot that had identical top and bottom teeth, but I can't immediately find it.
The other day I was considering creating a thread wherein people would predict which major franchise/company would be the first to implement raytraced reflections/GI on character teeth.
It'll probably be someone like Naughty Dog.
despite my alias, i have no strong feelings about teeth really. I agree that it would be nice to see more varied teeth sets in games though.
How do I achieve this natty?
Het baby, do those teeth go all the way up?
Funny you say this as one of the first things I noticed about the witch lady everyone's obsessed with is how yellow and ugly her teeth were lmao
DMCV SE maybe? The game has very close-up shots of teeth during cutscenes, and it has ray tracing as well.
I don't think they actually put it on the teeth though. Either the material they used for the teeth didn't hit the roughness cut off on their RT or the material itself was excluded.
Edit: no idea who this douchenozzle was, just a dumb video from YouTube recommendations that I won't recommend again. Thanks for the heads-ups.

Yeah its like a cartoons character teeth, not very realistic most of the time and there for contrast.
I'm anxious for a Pogues video game just so we can see Shane MacGowan's infamous gnashers in 4K.
Truth.
Truth.
Its the annoying grey shadowing being cast from the head that usually bothers the shit out of me, actually. Happens in most modern games.
As for RE:VIII, I think they look great and its curious it bothers you since its the standard "attractive people always have good teeth" Just watch any movie, series or CW show regardless of time period

I appreciate that the devs of Horizon Zero Dawn gave her a believable flaw via her teeth.Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn
Still too white though
Nobody should watch this shithead's videos.

I'm not the only one imagining that third Kratos with a little pipe and a sailor hat, right?Kratos needs some dental care
Surprisingly Last of us 2, which even has details like armpit hair, keeps those teeth pretty pearly white and straight despite the post apocalypse
A shout out to some of strongest teeth in the business. This man's dental hygiene is unparalleled.
I literally know nothing about the person and it's the only video I've ever seen. Should I delete it?
I remember the teeth in Quantum Break being very... good, I guess. Feels odd to be praising teeth.
IIRC they moulded and then modelled all the main actors' pearly whites.

Probably, there were a couple threads that were closed because staff didn't want this site to give him a platform.

Oh wow. Never noticed they were a little crooked.
Just a detail we can discuss and talk about. I don't see anyone blaming devs for not putting perfectly believable tooth.
I was always bothered by the toothiness of people in Wolfenstein The New Order. Just constant dentures everywhere you look. It's one of those games with a bunch of scenes where your space is being regularly invaded in first-person too, all so these Nazis can leer at you with their teeth all teething out.
These fucks even put teeth on their machines
Then you go back to home base, and wouldn't you know it, your supposed comrades are at it as well
Even Anya had a regular lip curl so you can be threatened by her pearly upper set at every moment
And by the end of game, with that much insidious tooth influence, there was just no hope for BJ
Just... just stop teething at me. Knock it off. Close your mouth a little. Jesus.

How did the thread go this long without someone posting DK's pearly whites, for shame
Meh, the way the OP is framed with stuff like "Also, most developers would just give the majority of their character models the same set of teeth" is bordering on lazy devs rhetoric. It's obnoxious and a dumb nitpick imo. But whatever this thread is still good fun for the pic sharing alone.
OP
OP
The only thing I'm insinuating is that devs usually don't consider teeth when designing their characters. That's not laziness, that's just overlooking how teeth can add to a character's design and personalization.
I see all the highly detailed digitized face models they used on MK11 and merely believe if they modeled their teeth too than it would elevated the realism of the characters. It's what makes the violence and gore of modern Mortal Kombat so effective in the first place.
Look at these Witcher 3 characters
I haven't played the game but from looking at these character designs I can make an educated guess of what status they have in the world or what kind of role they have on the story.
For example the guy on the top screenshot is bruised and is missing a tooth so I can only assume he gets into fights often or at least got into one when Geralt meets him.
