And here is the "specular / subsurface mask"

I use "image map3" to control the amount of "subsurface".

On the ears i use a white mask for maximum "subsurface" and for the rest of the skin a "dark grey mask".

I set the "metallic value" to 1 and use the same mask to reduce the metallic effect (I hate the plastic gloss that came out normaly).

And for the ears:

And the shader setup is this:

For the face:

This is the setup for this render:

I put one "area light" behind the head.

Hi, think you are looking for something like this. This is "Tokyo" for V4 from Danae.

When you use "Image Texture" insted of "Image_Map" for Normalmaps, your set up must be:

• Vector - no input when your prop/figure is UV Mapped (Vector is the input for texture coordinates. By default this is set to UV coordinates in meshes)

• Color Space - must be "none" or "Non-Color Data" (For factors, bump or normal maps you should chose non-color data)

• Projetion - has to be "flat" (Flat will project the image flat onto the surface)

• Interpolation - can be "smart" (Cycles will decide which interpolation method to use) or "linear" (New pixels will get an even mix between their neighbors)

Normal maps are working pretty good in superfly, i am using on the most of my render normal maps.

Here you can see a very basic setup for normal maps. You can use normal maps only and you can use bump and normalmaps together.

Do you mean a shader like this?

These background images are HDRI Images. If you like to use them, you need an "environmental sphere". The easiest way is when you use EZ Dome from Snarlygribbly. The Link is: http://poser.snarlygribbly.org One tip when you scale up the inner "sphere" the backround immage "looks" closer and when you scale it down the backround "looks" more fare away.

Thanks for choosing one of my images :) Congrats to everybody else. Great work!

Thanks for including my image in this weeks Picks - congrats to all!

Thank you Boni!

I'm thinking about it. But there's a lot of work left behind. ;-)

Thank you!
