I have played a lot with the material room in the last weekends, and I am very pleased with the results. Many thanks to Stewer, EmpressZario and all the others who posted tips on the material room.

This picture uses only on infinite light with shadows at 100 %. The fill light is provided by the Probe Light Node. I am really impressed with its possibilities. I will post some screens from the material room in the next messages.

This are the settings I used for the skin, the head uses the same settings, just with the head texture.

The bump settings I got from the posts of EmpressZario, many thanks for that.

I found I get the best skin illumination if I plug the texture in the skin node and that into the probe light node. I did turn down the saturation of the probe light and the exposure up.

The blinn node gives much nicer highlights for skin than the standard poser specularity.

For the cornea I used anisotropic highlights, they are great for wet surfaces. The reflection map is landscape photo I made. The swords use the same reflection map.

In the real world, the reflections on eyes show mostly against the black background of the pupils, so I took the Eye texture, inverted it and turned up the contrast with the math nodes and used that to control refletivity.

The lacrimals are very important for the look of the eyes, in my opinion. I used the anisotropic node and a procedural bump to get a wet look.

I made the color of the hair (Godness hair) solid black and used the texture map to control specularty. A more uniform specularity map would probably look even more natural.

Very useful post, thanks - I'll be playing with some of these findings!
