A few findings (female):
1> Nice that we have a new eyeliner menu!
2> The eyeshadow menu now gives only yellow, blue and red eyeshadow. Even the brown colour palette shows yellow now! This obviously isn't an improvement.
3> Light effects are now very extreme, the subtlety has gone. Can we have sliders for light direction AND intensity AND colour?
4> Going back and forth between 2nd and 3rd screen turns the mouse beserk

Very nice.. I like that we can now more sculpting. I think the Amarr/Amarr/Male become better, but I think there should be a funktion, that make them younger (so one point of the wheel should make them, or maybe all athers races and blodlines, younger)
Perhaps for the men but the Khanid female looks like she¦s not more than 16-18 years old .. but perhaps when the other 4 age options are active you can add/subtract a number of years ..

P.S In the beginning where we can choose the races and bloodlines... in this overview are all males are naked.
LOL I noticed that too!! xD

I have the feeling the new version is even less stable, I had a few heavy crashes while selecting hair.

Been trying out a little more.
a) The sculpturing interface now allows you to adjust cheekbones, eye size, jaw length/width - which is good (although it often results in grotesque unrealistic faces, esp with women).
b) If I put different clothes on, sometimes the hair colour changes? Is this a feauture that's intended for racial haircolours/clothes?
c) The general interface is not really intuitive. If you put an "upracticed" person behind the editor you either get misshapes or standard faces.
d) Most lightning options have WAY too much contrast so you lose a lot of detail. In the previous build this was much better.
e) Still missing an "undo" and "reset all" button.

Having an avatar you liked ruined by an automated avatar generator isn't a good business move though, so CCP will likely give people who weren't active at the time a chance to remake their avatar at login or by ingame means at a later date(Incarna).
I hope it will be like that. The new expansion will already be launched within a few weeks, there's no news that the new editor will have full options and a user-friendly interface by then. We also haven't seen all the "WiP" options either.
There's been a lot of feedback from the player population and I don't think they have enough time to adjust the character editor accoriding to all the wishes and bug reports. At best we get an improved beta version but I wouldn't bet on it that it will be smooth and polished in a few weeks from now.
I hope that they're not rushing the whole thing - giving us the limited editor now and give us the option to remake our portraits (again) in half a year when Incarna (hopefully) gets released in full glory seems to be CCP's best option imo.

Here's an updated guide, that should fix the shader issue (it does for me), based on Cetida Chiya's input:
guide 1
guide 2
Sadly this guide apparently doesn't work for everybody.
Sadly it doesn't work for me!

My main feedback is that there are two variables that can't be manipulated by players: hairstyle and clothes. These both have a major impact on how the avatar looks. Since they are 'fixed' (unlike facial structure which is infinitely variable), I'd suggest that the art team go over the top in providing a very very wide range of different hairstyles and clothing. Right now we have a near infinite number of faces possible, but a very limited number of hairstyles and clothes.
Yes I also wonder about the transition between character portraits and the final Incarna.
Will we have to determine everything now? Does that mean that all options that will be in Incarna will already be in the editor that's released end january 2011?
Or will we be able to switch character faces again when the "real" incarna will finally be released? I'm not really very concerned about clothes as we can change them in-game anwyay but faces, hairstyles will probably be fixed from character creation on?
And will we only have 1 length, will all characters be exactly the same length? Because that's the biggest difference between EVE's new editor and all the other sophisticated editors I've seen thus far: no length adjustments.

Has been discussed to hell and back already.. if you give this option you end up with min/max and not much in between.
Personally I would vote for a random height (*)
I disagree. I'd hate it to walk into a station and see all men being exactly 6 foot and the women being 5 foot 6. It takes away from the immersion and RP aspect.
The randomizer sounds ok, that will cause some nice variation.
But NO standard lengths for everyone PLEASE! This isn't WOW!

Pls CCP, make it possible to change the Bloodline. Ppl told me it has no consequences on gamplay what Bloodline you choose. So i chose the bloodline i thought looked the best in the old char editor. Jin-Mei. But with the new char editor i dont like the Jin-Mei style anymore. I dont wanna run around on stations with an asian looking guy.
If you release a new char editor which makes the characters look different, then pls give us the opportunity to make our new selves look like we want them to.
Also agree with this. A lot of bloodlines are unrecognizable, like the Vherokior, Khanid and Akura.
