I was able to eventually figure out the neck texture matchup problem.... eventually...
Turns out there was a portion of the neck closest to the face that was still using the old texture... go figure... after telling it to apply the correct new texure I had made... well, tweaked ;) it finally worked...

... just a heads up incase someone else is having the same issue... took me the better part of the day to figure that one out... I kept opening the head & body map in photoshop scratching my head and pulling out my hair trying to figure out why they were not matching up... Oh well, live and learn.

I could still use some help on the other isues of why my tattoo looks a little out of focus when rendering. and if you figure my "soapy" areas look ok or if they could use some more work... I'll probably do a lot of that in post because I can then make the soap bubbles look like they are dripping off areas like her hips and stuff...

Thought?

Ideas?

Curses?

Praises?

Yeah, yeah... I don't want much do I.... c'pt maybe a six demon bag... full of wind, fire, and all that good stuff...

...course truth be told I feel like that after a good bowl of chillie ;)

Ramble, ramble, blah , blah...

... I'll just shut up now... ;)
