Belldandy - *Oh My Goddess!* She is a work-in-progress (WIP) at the moment, as her symbols are not quite accurate as of yet. What I am wondering is if someone has seen, knows where to get or can make the lovely hair that she so fondly keeps intact.

The hair you see on her now is a mixture of Anime Doll Kit hair and Motsura hair, transparency enabled. Firefly rendered, with smooth polygons on and all the other bells and whistles. Took some tips from some rendering suggestions out there. It definitely shows in this portrait. Shame the picture has to be low quality on here (200K ^_^)

Anyways, if anyone knows or has seen hair for her, please let me know! Thanks for your help.

Well, similar hair would include [Daz Changing Ponytail](http://secure.daz3d.com/shop.php?op=itemdetails&item=734), or [3Dream Ponytail](http://market.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=23976), but they're only close. I'll attach an image to help out, so those unfamiliar with the series at least know what the hair should somewhat look like.

Oh best of luck, I enjoyed that series! :) She usually has 2 hairstyles. One is a ponytail, and the other is loose. :)

She has a great and complex hair, hard to modelling. I have used the hair for Maya Anime doll. I have changed the front hair in Rhino to be more symmetrical, and made the strands in Rhino.

Nice work Torulf, that really looks like Belldandy!

My first attempt to cel shading rendering. The markings on Belldandys head is missing. I wonder how to make them in render?

TG

well, the marks are usually just simple shapes, ever considered a prop? ~DM

Props are not good for the markings on her cheeks. If I change her expressions the prop would not fit. I wont to make animation and its not works with props.

If you are going to do anime animation, the best thing to do for the goddess marks is to copy the face texture you're using under say Bell's name, then add the marks in Photoshop or PSP. You'll probably have to tweak the unshaded color value to get the marking color to look correct in final render, but it would be the easiest way to do it.

It may work, just remeber to check "Inherit bends from parent" when your parenting the prop. Well, then how about using the grouping tool, or an external app to create the marks as new material planes (think that's what they're called). ~DM

In mine, I put the markings as textures and fed it through the shader. Works great for renders, but if her markings were to change shape/size like they CAN do, you should use props. I've been looking somewhat into that myself, since Taruru put the blush props into Anime Doll.

I'm also looking into putting tatoos and such onto faces, ala .hack or Naruto series. We really need an anime forum. ^_^

Hera are the markings made as props. Not perfect fitt. Sorry I posted wrong image first time.
