Ah, I knew it!

I had a feeling that there would almost certainly be some talk of the nipples ;-)

God, you can't get away with anything in this place. OK, they're a bit pointy I must admit, but maybe PJF was right, maybe she's in a cool environment!

Nah, the truth of the matter is that they're intentionally large and pointed, I intended to tone 'em down a bit before I rendered, but I forgot. I was'nt going to go through a long render again, just to reduce the size of the nipples.

Just in case you're wondering why they look like that:

I always use that same mesh, when I'm testing SKIN-BASE. And believe it or not, the nipple area is a very good part of the mesh to examine SKIN-BASE up-close in a technical manner. It's because that part of the mesh is dense, and concentrates light evenly in the centre of a large smooth surrounding. Of course, now you're wondering what the hell I'm going on about, but rest assured, when you see the leap of progress I made last night with SKIN-BASE, you'll know EXACTLY what I mean.

Last night, I managed to get VERY close to what I want out of SKIN-BASE. I'm talking SKIN-OVER-BLOOD simulation in a single material!

The INCOMPLETE SKIN-BASE material shown above, is in comparison, very sub-standard to what I have now. I never should have posted a SKIN-BASE demonstration in that basic state, so I would suggest to anyone "ignore it".

The above images were supposed to be my final ones before I release PRO-RENDER, but, I'll do one more to show what SKIN-BASE was intended to do, (SKIN-OVER-BLOOD simulation).

I've NEVER been so plased with anything I've ever created, than what I came up with last night. If you're intending to use figures in PRO-RENDER-EXTREME, then you're gonna love what I've done. If people are not impressed with my next image, then as far as I'm concerned, there's no pleasing them, and I couldn't care less of their opinion.
We shall see...

No matter what, I AM EXTATIC!!! 8-))

I'll get a render done in the next couple of days!
