Again, thanks for all the interesting and helpful comments.
face_off: Yes, you're right about the bleeding. I just noticed
it recently. I guess I should try loading the texture into ZB2 to have
a more immediate feedback for things like that.
And I agree: she looks more realistic in profile. I've got a couple of
ideas why that is. Let's see...
gps: Congratulations, you've got it. Franka Potente is my
reference. The likeness isn't very good, I think, but maybe it will
become better over time.
Yes, I think that asymmetry is very important to make faces
realistic. I don't dare to introduce any asymmetries, yet, though,
because I'm afraid it will make subsequent modification steps harder.
Acadia: Well, I guess there is some similarity in the eyes. And
eyes, of course, are very important. She's probably as close to
Zeta-Jones as she is to Potente, so I can't say you're wrong. :-) But
I don't see much of Mulgrew in her. Be it as it is. Most important to
me is that she looks good, and as real as I can get her with Poser.
4blueyes: Yes, I am indeed not completely happy with that
area. I'll see what I can do about it (eventually).
egaeus: I am using Poser 6 and the HyperREAL texture by
Morris. I am also using face_off's script that goes with the
texture. Some of the lighting tricks I also learned from Paul
(face_off), other's are my own. Or, rather, standard things I learned
by watching a lot of TV. :-)
richardson: So many little things... I must say, I really
admire your sharp eye and your knowledge of anatomy. I've got myself a
nice reference book now, so I'll see what I can do. Can you explain
again about the eye orbital and the eyebrow? I'm not sure I
understand.
By the way, I've just noticed that her eyebrows are too high up. Maybe
that's what the problem is. In the photos I looked at, you really
don't see any indentation between the upper lids and the brows,
because her brows are rather low and her upper lids pretty fleshy. But
in my pictures, the brows are much higher, and so there should be one.
