Attached Link: Image I used this in......

Thanks for the tip Anton. Gotta start keeping a note book of all these great ideas... One question though - how do you get the wet lips look on the full image?

it is a material setting and a bit of texture shine. I'll do a lip one next

Thanks Anton, I'll try that! Paula

Great idea .. and I love the image!

"PS: If you ever want me to post something specific let me know." 1. What is the status of V3? 2. What do you know about this new 3d program DAZ is working on? Thanks.

Since we are talking eyes. I made some eyes on a texture I am working on for Vicki and I went through all the trouble of making the veins and such. One problem, her eyes are still as white as anything when I render...why dont the veins show up? And why are they SO white??

Your tips are really some of the most useful I've seen. I also like how you fit everything into one image! That way I can just save it like any other picture and open it up while I work. :) Excellent texture too, is that your own? Thanks again for sharing, take care. SnowS Hoping his pictures are worth 1001 words.

Actually, I do have a couple of little Photoshop-related questions you might be able to answer if you don't mind. :) - I've downloaded brushes for PS7 that do not "build up" when you paint, but every custom brush I try and create builds up like an airbrush even if the airbrush option is off. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong, or how to create a non-build-up brush? - Is there any way to have a pattern rotate as you paint with the Pattern Stamp too? I can get the brush to rotate, jitter, fade, and everything else under the sun, but I've never seen a way to make the pattern rotate with it. Thought maybe there could be some unusual way to make it happen. ;) Anyway, thanks for your time and your very useful tips. Take care. SnowS

Thats a great tip, you know I am going to have to add that to my utility belt :) Until now I have always overlooked that area, I knew there was something about the eyes that didn't look quite right but couldn't see it. Thankyou!

something specific...hmmm...a tutorial on remapping? Just a thought s

ps: remapping human figures

That is beautiful, Anton! Is this a P5 woman and if so, did you get eyelashes by growning them with the p5 hair thing?? Sara

movida I think that Steve Cox has a tutorial covering remapping figures. Try http://www.uvmapper.com/tutorials.html

that is V2 in P4

Taura: I was thinking of trying to remap DinaV to use Vicky skins (I know many have started but haven't seen any finished). Those that have started are far and away more skilled than I am, just figured Anton might be able to shed some light s and when I found the time I could give it a try.

Uv mapping a figure.....hmmm. Hi res like dina is really tough. Normally you would start with a very lo res version, map that(which is easier), and then res it up later. Alot of Uv mapping is really mive point by point and using a checkerboard pattern to check for distortion. I will work on a tutorial.

Anton thank you so much for the offer, don't rush with it just because I asked because it may be 2 months before I'd get time to play with it. Just got BT Sculpture's Texture Tutorials (now all I need is a Canon D60 g)
