when will the final VSS shader be released? Is it supposed to render really slow cause when I add hair to my figure, poser freezes or renders really slow.

yes thanks cobaltdream.
well im only new to 3d programs and am still learning.
I just simply want to browse not for comparison really just for to look at other artists work.
I'm not really sure what you mean by sites that are usable. Do you mean for ideas?
I'm not wanting examples really.
Could you give links to the sites that you find really strong and effective?
Thanks!!

im looking for sites just for browsing and for eyecandy. Im looking for sites that are high quality cgi not illustrations nor concept art.

QUOTES cobaltdream:

do you mean the portfolios of digital artists that are good or digital artist's portfolios that are well done? 
Eh... does that not mean the same thing LOL

Thanks geep for giving link
Sooo any websites similiar to this such as maybe the portfolios of the digital artists that did Beowulf. The links I provided are digital artists that works on the cgi movies Final Fantasy the spirits within and the animatrix.

Hmmm there is something wrong with this thread i see.
I was told i got a message from a few members on this forum but none are being displayed.
Can someone else just reply on this thread to see if a post appear here,
thx!

oh thanks nevare,I havent started yet as im too busy working!
could you possibly show how i could do the eyes?
thanks again, everyones being a great help

Nevare, i mean the template map is flattened right, so everything is iiregular as regards to the photo. What I mean is the lips are in a sad expression ( cause the template map is flat) and the photo obviously isnt. If  you know what i mean? I know it sounds as if im talking alot of bull...
Im using james 1.0 by the way.

new question when i try to copy and paste onto the template such as lips, the lips on the template are irregular shape. Im talking about the seam template of james by snowsultan. I also notice in FS' tiny skin tutorial his template is on the figure's face as he applies the textures from his photo onto his character. How is this done?

Oh another question. The hiro 3.0 template resolution is only 3013x2048 and my photo resolution is 4000x3500. Can i increase the size of the template to match or will it not fit the character when i aplly the finished map?

ok thanks nevare, I'll give it a go!

Im either going to use hiro 3.0 or james. What lighting technique would show photorealistic results and are there any in the marketplace. Is baggins*** ( sorry cant remember name) VSS shader the best to use?

ok thanks,
In the link ( Thanks silke by the way for fixing the link) for the skin tutorial it shows the template map. Do you load the entire map into photoshop and add all the photograph all on the same map cause the eyes, the face and the lashes are shown in one image to the top right hand side of the image in the link. Or do they come on seperate maps. I hope im making sense!
