hmm seems noone wanted to comment my last post, so I just continued working on this.

It's going to be a texture for BOTH Judy and Victoria, based on photographs of me (scary, huh?)

Whaddaya think?

Oh and once again: can anyone tell me what parts of judy's eye that's what? On the template I mean.

I think it really looks cool. The texture over the bridge of the nose looks a little odd to me, though. The hair looks a little bright. Maybe just the lighting too intense. Other than that I think this is really taking shape for a potentially really good realistic texture. Keep at it, I'd say!

have you got SnowSultans templates? I'm pretty sure they are colour coded & labelled, don't forget judy uses her own eyes & won't use vickys

oh yeah it's starting to look good ;) or would you rather hear it looks like trash? lol

The hair is Kozaburo's Rei hair :o) There IS some stretching over the nose bridge, I'm working on that. I have the templates from free stuff. They're colour coded but not labelled. And there are more parts of the eye than I'm used to G Right now the eyes are from another model, I'm going to make my own later of course. btw...any P5 owners willing to test this? And no this time I'm aiming for something OTHER than trash ;o)

looks like the bottom of the texture needs to be moved up slightly so that the edges of the mouth line up better with the darker creases in the texture, but I'd float the lips on a new layer first coz those look right on. :)

Newest picture, without hair.

the chin has problems for me. there is yellow under the lips and the chin has a red spot on it. actually it is all a little on the yellow side to me. and you may want to touch up the lip creases or make them line up more.

I found out that the yellowish look was due to the fact that the previous pictures were rendered using Poser default lights *G* Here's another one, lip crease fixed.

It's looking nice however a few things could make it look better. These are just my observations and personal preferences and should just be viewed as so. I've attached a pic of your render with the problem areas that I see need the most work: 1)The cloning on the forehead, sides of forehead (and a bit on the cheeks)is fairly obvious. 2)There are no bottom lashes that I can see and the top lashes seem very short. Also, you may just not have gotten to it but i see that there are no brows either. 3) I'm not sure what's going on with the skin around the corners of her mouth but it seems a bit odd. 4) The skin seems very blotchy with some very light areas where there really shouldn't be and some very dark areas as well (particularly those circled on the attached pic).

Again, just my observations and personal preferences. I'm just trying to help as you've asked for comments/suggestions so don't think I'm being too hard on you. :)

Pam

The blotch under her eye that Pam circled, I like, maybe it could be softened-- don't like the straight lines that are leadimg to it from the nose. VS has put up an awfully good Photographic tutorial on doing this kind of thing on PoserPros. I recommend checking it out. I used his advice when combining textures. This texture has real-- accent real--potential. Emily

You're right Emily. It does have a lot of potential, just needs some tweeking to finish it off. :)

One thing that you might try, although it is not strictly texture related, is increasing the focal length of your camera when you are that tightly zoomed in. It will give a more natural-looking render, which might help gauge which parts of the texture look like natural "irregularities" in the skin and which don't. But I agree, you are definitely doing a great job. :-)

Looking good. Yeah, there are some blemishes that could be smoothed a bit, but not all. Its good to have blemishes as we all seem to have those in real life. Would be good to find a way to ditch the glowing nostrils though. I know that's hard in P4. Maybe darken the texture there?
