Hi, I want to modify my high res textures (Vicky2/3500x and 4000x) to be more realistic and less perfect looking. I'm looking for ideas on what will be effective to give the models a much-less-than-glamour kind of appearance. Not looking for grotesque but I really don't like the centerfold skin and flawless lighting results. I thought I'd start by trying to bleach out some skin areas and add some color and blemishes in others for realism. I don't want to loose the high res that is there. (I also wish that some more matureish attractive characters were available , but well I guess I understand this is more often about "ideals" , less often about reality) I have 'Noa' which begins to approach what I'm looking for - in case you happen to know what the tex looks like - tan lines, nicely off color a bit, slightly splotchy here and there. She renders very realistically compelling and very lovely ...the best of the several high res I've recently purchased - for my purposes. I'm hoping that some here can give me a little direction. What can be done without wiping out or obscuring the high res that is there and which might add to the realism? I'll render in Cinema 4d. The end product will be simple figure/lighting studies with few props - and with the simplicity - the skin is everything - 'flaws' especially! Many thanks for your help here. archrendr
