nia is not 6 feet tall :) the head is in proportion for a 5 foot tall teenager. keep in mind that a tall person does not necessarily have a significantly larger head than a short person, and younger people have heads that are larger in proportion to their bodies than those who are fully grown. my previous render on the left is slightly from above, and the camera angle makes it look a little bigger. if theres one thing im really sick of, its looking at stephanie and vicky's undersized heads. perhaps people get used to them, i dont know... but vicky's head is MUCH too small for her body. i scale it up in every one of my renders. take a look at a human and look at the size of their head in relation to their body (keep in mind head sizes do tend to vary)... or look at anatomical drawings or a standard anatomical proportion reference that you learn in most art classes. there is no way someone will have a head smaller than a C cup breast... its just physically impossible. no offense to daz, since they do make awesome products, but their head scaling needs some serious assistance. but if you dont agree, nias head can be scaled down easily with just a turn of a dial. as for makeup MATs, these arent just color balanced bits of the texture or MATs that change the material color to another shade, theyre all unique handpainted shimmery makeups done by Rio. ive pieced all of the makeups together onto under a dozen texture .jpgs, so it doesnt take up that much room. the entire package is just over 11 megs, thats including the clothing and the lace textures, which are as high res as the character texture. cheers, -gabriel
