*Anton: Cool. That face is postworked though. You can see the facial compositing/retouching especially around the  mouth, nose, and eyes. Beautiful image regardless.

ice-boy: i also think that there was some photoshop work done. if not then this is IMO the best poser render in the history of poser renders :).

Since I never do postwork (too lazy) I'm not sensitive to the shenanigans that go on, so I didn't notice what you guys did until you told me. I had to zoom the render to see the edits. I see some mismatch around the eye crinkles, the nostril/cheek join, and the mouth corners.

These are notorious places for AO artifacts, so it may be that it was necessary to fix Poser's problems rendering those spots.

But - Anton - now you have me wondering. You used the word "compositing" which I consider to be significantly more than just touch-up. Do you think those eyes were not rendered?

As for the rest of the face, I am very sensitive to the effects produced by my shaders. I can say with almost no doubt that I see my "spots" node at work on the tiny skin imperfections, particularly on the forehead. I also clearly see my specular effects and SSS effects at work.
