yvesab: You have eagle-eyes!! This is not a rendering artifact, it's indeed a scar that the first version of the texture has as well. The model who's photos I use has such a scar in excact that place and on the left side (I did not mirror the resource). We where puzzled here as well and I did a little research and found that a) many other surgerys can leave such a scar and, even more interesting, b) some people have their appendix on the opposite site. But as this is caused by a rare and really dangerous prenatal deformation (better: malrotation of the intestine) I think that the scar is caused by a different kind of surgery.

About the areola: I kept the color as is as I found that the original "features" always work best with the skin (except teeth, gums and eyes). So I do not match them to my taste (in fact I have no special preferences here) and this way I can leave parts of the surrounding skin what makes blending into the base skin easy. The size is simply what the UV map told me

I will start with the bump maps now and hopefully come up with some more image in some hours. Meanwhile Leo recreated the tattoo we had with the first version and is now painting a very special extra.

Regarding all those previews and the explanations about the progress: I hope that everybody gets me right! It is not my intention to boast of what we do here!! From the start of this project and the first renders where odf showed every step of Antonia's progress I was fascinated about the insight into the development of a complete new figure. And even if I do not understand everything about modelling, rigging, mapping and joint-control-magic I am excited to be able to follow the progress by reading this thread. And so I think that an insight into the texture-process might be interesting as well. And most of all I like to have your opinions - better change something now then later when everything is done!

I'm not always right, but my mistakes are more interesting!

And I am not strange, I am Limited Edition!
