I have moved on from my obsession with skin.  I've been trying out a few hair products, just toying around to see what works and what doesn't.  This is the first render I felt was worth sharing.

This is Tori with Asteria hair from Mairy & 3Dream. (available here at Renderosity)

I like the way the hair turned out. I lowered the glossiness strength to 0, because I was getting far too many red sparklies in the hair. I also changed bump map settings to -.1 and .1 (from .001s)

This one is at 1000 spp and baked for just under an hour! (I finally put my kids' gaming computers to use! Network rendering works great so far with LuxRender 1.0rc4)

What do you think of the hair?
