Cath, I've been able to use face_off's real skin shader on the Sixus1 project human figures, but not your skin translucence. I'm not sure I really understand how the figures are mapped. I have played a bit with the spot bump mapping you showed me. The figures are available at poserfreebies.com under the link Project Human. I'll post some images later.

If I can be of any help, let me know. :) --Rebekah--

Thanks Rebekah... I'm trying to get the same glowing ears effect on Adam2 that I could with M2. I'm still working on getting my demonstration pictures together :)

This is Adam2 with real skin shader and spot mapping. I couldn't run the script directly onto Adam2. Instead I had to put Adam2's textures onto Lilin's lips and nipples and then copy them over to Adam2's head, skin, lips, and nipple material zones. It was kind of odd since the script would run on Lilin and not Adam2 even though the material zones had the same name...

Here's Cath's translucent method. I couldn't tell where the ear was on the Adam2 maps so I took the bump map and converted to RBG. Then in Curves, I changed the input to 191 and the output to 51 and used the results as my attempt for the translucence map. You can tell by the glow in the wrong places that my experiment is a dud. In addition, since Adam2 doesn't have a material zone for his nostrils, they almost disappear. I'm working on the problem with the eyes now...

Here's my settings for the translucence test...

Here's what the eyes look like now.

Here's the fixed materials for the eye. I used Cath's eyetrans reflection material method for the eyetrans. The eyeball was made slightly pinker with more of a shine.

Here's a profile shot... I messed up so there's no translucence through the ears.

Hi PapaBM, I made this render to help you out while Rebekah comes in your help. The ear area in Adam it's very well built but it's a really thight spot, so the polygons are really close together. Hope this help to see where you could found the ear. Pmatic

I'll see what we can get together for you as soon as we can Papa. And do you need a nostril material added or a UV template that shows you where they are ? --Rebekah--

A nostril material has to be added, otherwise the nostrils will just disappear as the lights are aimed at the back of the head.

Jeremy as Posermatic show you, you need to create exact the translucene map for the ears as I show you in my last topic about translucence. Create black map and on the parts where you wish the translucence effect paint with a light grey brush, don't use the whole map for the head as only parts as nose ears fingers etc.. Cath P.S I will make short movie tutorial to show you it in action as well.

thanks Cath...I'm completely lost :(

Posermatic, I looked at the area you showed me and tried to use it to make a generic translucence map for the ears. I overshot quite a bit...

Sweet Jeremy you have to make a new map a black one with the grey areas where you wish that the translucence show up. for that you need to use the template map of the head figure. If you use the map for the whole head it will nevr looks good. Can I download the head show above? or the figure? tell me where?

Ah that is a very cool website!! thank you again, I go to see what I can do for the translucence maps, when I am done I will upload it here for you to use.

Cath, I took Posermatic's image and duplicated the ear area and stretched it to fit Adam's map. Then I placed a black layer underneath and lowered the opacity of the ears. It's a quick and dirty map, but this was my result.

Les said the he will try to get a new OBJ out to you with a nostrils material added sometime tonight. He just wants to finish up the UV mapping on Lilin2 first. --Rebekah--

Thanks Rebekah... I appreciate all your help too :)

Jeremy, it get better but still not right, I work on the new texture maps right now.. in time I made new head morph in Zbrush for him it will the new Victor Morph lol

That's Adam?!? Thanks for all your help Cath :)

This is going to be sweeet. :) -Les

thanks, here the first bigger preview of the texture and morph of Adam2 still work in progress.. I wish I can relax the UV for better effect .. Ok we see what we can do with this sweet guy :)

WOW!!! Very cool Cath :)

ok here one more before dinner :P

Looking good. :) -Les

The combination of that morph and texture kind of reminds me of someone I know.

WOW. that is a GREAT looking morph and texture. Are you gonna make them available to the general public?

thanks:) when my work done on him looks good to me then I will do this and share it with everyone:)

Holy Cow....he looks good!

If life was fair, Elvis would be alive and all the impersonators would be dead.

Wow...he looks awesome! Cath, it's simply amazing how you can take a figure and make them look alive. Jeremy

Are those textures going to be made available to the public? WOWSERS!

Yes SteveJax it will be free , I will finish it when I am back Online after our Mec4D moving to new location. Cath

Wow! Thanks Cath! So is that what Les really looks like in person? :) I thought Adam 2 was based on Les in Real Life right?

From what I know that is true but not in my work above. The new morph and textures are based on my good friend from Chicago :) I don't know how Les looks like for real btw:)

LOL, I wonder if your friend will be surprised when he sees how well how recreated him ;) PS, will the Mec4d site still have the same address?

LOL :) yes Jeremy everything stay the same way as before , my office move only :) I sit on cartoons right now hahaha just kidding but almost. I have to wait for the new cable internet connection and I hope they fix this soon!
