Rust's character customization options have always been a bit unusual in that… well, you don't get any. Your character's looks are generated by a random seed and you don't have any say over them. Whatever you get, you get, from face to race to gender to the size of your dong or boobs.
But your character in Rust is going to look different as of the newest update.
"We’ve overhauled the player model from the ground up," Facepunch Studios said today. "This includes improved meshes and materials, more realistic proportions on a new rig, expanded head and hair seeds and a much needed pass over almost everything player-related."
Why now? Well, despite Rust getting updated with new features just about every month, it's been quite a while since the player models got some attention.
"The old player model has served us well for almost 10 years, but it’s lagged behind the rest of the game for some time," Facepunch said. "Visually, it was showing its age, but just as importantly it was holding us back from making bigger improvements to characters, animations and implementing future features."
