Here's the promised outdoor render.

This is Alyson, same as the first page promotional image. But I didn't like her stock face. She has quite a few good variations. I used the Ethnic morph "Maria" at .64. No other morphs were used.

Obviously I used my VSS shaders on her skin and eyes. (But you can't see her eyes because of the visor). The stock figure just doesn't look real with good lighting alone. Skin has to be dealt with properly, and VSS provides the necessary specular and SSS. I did not use material based AO or gamma correction, as those are no longer needed. I probably should have adjusted the color tint a little, as this looks maybe too red, but you get the idea.

The jacket and helmet shaders I left as is, except for the visor. It had a really terrible shader on it. I downloaded a free "scratched" image from cgtextures, then used that to build up a scratched coated plastic material for the visor.

I also used my Environment Sphere with a free equirectangular image attached. The EnvSphere provided the background, the ambient lighting without any IBL (!), as well as the realistic reflections in the visor. One free prop provides 3 matching effects. Magic!

The only light is a single infinite light at 75% intensity.

Render time was 57 minutes.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
