Looks nice - I think I downloaded your dress btw., like your work However I assume this is not the original P11 material of the hair but the later updated one or your own?

Cause when I got P11 the hair for Pauline had a rather dull and lo-res texture if I remember correctly. Also - this hair is static. You can adjust an animate the long part on the shoulder an a few things but its not up-to-date dynamic hair... and I just got P11 Pro and the updated hair a few weeks ago.

The new textures are indeed quite ok.

Also, about knowing your tools - you are right, but what I do know is that this tool does indeed have a lot of bugs... The last update alone listed a lot of them that were fixed, but there are still a few.

I just toy around with the toon shader for instance - you can connect and combine it to many things, it seems, so you think it might be a way to create great interesting non-photo styles/looks.

And when you do that, it seems to work and looks pretty much like expected in the preview. Just in rendering, it has totally irregular behaviour and looks totally different-

For instance when you switch the outline mode to "improved" the objectmay turn black with dots, and such things. The "improved" mode isnt usable. But you need to make a lot of tests to figure that out for sure. Change render settings to see if its an issue with that, and so on.

So this is another thing where you seem to be 85% there quickly, but then you hit a wall. And five hours later you are still only 85% there and wasted a lot of time with bug.
