La femme with one of my new hair shaders for Poser 13

Stressing out my computer while making promos for more hair shaders. The first test render crashed while using GPU rendering so I had to switch to the GPU.

:P

Nice.

Wow... and it's very soon Carnival in my City... 

Here is "Face of Kindness". I've reviewed some parameters for the skin, and I'm rather happy wit the result, even with close-ups 

Carnaval here is some time in february! :D

That skin is looking gorgeous!

Carnival should be February 13, usually the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

There's what we call the small Carnival : the next Saturday, and from Thursday the 8 to Tuesday the 13.

Wait - are you two brazilian too or is carnaval more widespread than I thought? LOL!

Carnival is all over. From my understanding, it's longer than one day in some places. The Tuesday before Ash Wednesday is just the last day, Mardi Gras. In New Orleans Louisiana, it starts on Twelfth Night (the 12th and final day of Christmas) and runs until Mardi Gras.

Carnival is huge in some regions of Germany and officially starts on 11 November. The biggest day is called Rose Monday, the Monday before Ash Wednesday.

Oh that's very cool! I knew there were carnivals in other places, but I didn't know they were the same time of the year! Really nice.

Actually, the pronunciation is different despite the spelling similarity.  I would have to research the definition and origin of the word.

This is what I found from Britannica.com:

"Carnival, the merrymaking and festivity that takes place in many Roman Catholic countries in the last days and hours before the Lenten season.  The derivative of the word is uncertain, though it possibly can be traced to the medieval Latin carnem levare or carnelevarium, which means to take away or remove meat.  This coincides with the fact that Carnival is the final festivity before the commencement of the austere 40 days of Lent, during which Roman Catholics in earlier times fasted, abstained from eating meat, and followed other ascetic practices.  The historical origin of Carnival is also obscure. It possibly has its roots in a primitive festival honouring the beginning of the new year and the rebirth of nature, though it is also possible that the beginnings of Carnival in Italy may be linked to the pagan Saturnalian festival of ancient Rome."

Actually, the pronunciation is different despite the spelling similarity.  I would have to research the definition and origin of the word.

Carnival is associated with pre-Lent festivities although the celebration itself may have transcended from pagan celebrations heralding Spring renewal and rebirth.  In the Americas, the festivities that you see today are a fusion of many cultural backgrounds from different parts of the world. However, it still finds its association with ancient Roman Catholicism.

The other carnival was a term coined in America in the 1920s and, with a different pronunciation, is associated with a traveling circus. 

In our city, Carnival is typically there to celebrate the end of winter, and on Tuesday evening, the last day of the Carnival, we burn what we call the Winter Man, after a judgment made in the public square, in front of everyone. The party 

Now that that's been cleared up, back to renders : 

Beautiful outfit.

I agree and beautiful textures.

Thanks! I was trying to make my procedural knit pattern look better in closeups by using bump, displacement and subsurface scattering together. I'm not a material room wiz, but I think it turned out quite nice.

I do love how the texture are appearing, honestly. It's just the scarf that slightly bothers me: it's too square at the ends (it lacks somewhat of... natural pose?), and as I'm not a modeler, I wouldn't know what to do, except with the morphing tool.

Regarding the ends, I would think the squareness that Y-Phil mentions (and I agree) could be addressed with a transmap (so it's simply not square) or add a map that overlays or replaces the ends of the pattern, e.g., a horizonal line across the weave to imply a hem.

Thanks for the suggestions on the scarf ends. Fully agreed, it needs something there to break up the shape. I'll have to look at some references of knit scarves to hopefully find a way to do the hem that's both realistic and easy to implement.

That's procedural? Very nicely done. I don't suppose you'd like to share?

In other news, I've been playing with some procedural skin variations to make LF2 look more lifelike. Everyone has a different idea of what "realistic" skin should look like, but I kinda like how this turned out.

Here's a closeup of the before and after.

Fantastic!

Been busy with work and school. Here's a new one

Awesome

I love that. The details are amazing. The creases in the shirt and at the corner of her eyes. The pose looks good to a non-boxer. That's one of the best-looking hairs I've seen in Poser.

This is the hair I used. https://www.renderosity.com/marketplace/products/156303/miana-hair-for-la-femme-and-more

I have that hair. I'll have to use it more.

Well, well, well. This character is quite a surprise 

The sweat's material is using ODF's knitt effect.
Who can guess the character? 

Miki is my guess

She's cute!

Am I showing my age if I say, Allen Alda? Would anyone get the reference?

Unfortunately, no real guesses.

Inspired by the previous conversation.

I was playing with the lighting for a another studio scene when this cute Jinky popped out 

Looks great
