Wow, V4 is hot. There aren't that many morphs, but every one is useful. I made this knockout face and body turning maybe 15 dials. These morphs are excellent. Hopefully we'll no longer see a million renders with the same high-cheek-boned-bulbous-lips character. She could use a few more nose morphs and you need more ways to alter the area around the eyes. They included a couple really good eye morphs, but to get into celebrity lookalike territory, you're going to need more.

I didn't do so good a job matching the bikini to the body. Don't really get why the identical settings didn't do it. And am I dreaming, or did I see someone mention that the clothes are supposed to track the body morphs automatically somehow?

And hooray for Daz, she comes with a proper default shader. I'm using the standard textures here. Guess what, the shader seems to be:

  1. A variation of the fake SSS I posted a while back involving Diffuse plugged into a Color Ramp with some red in the lower end.

  2. A variation of the specular shader from face_off real-xyz products.

So right out of the box, her skin looks pretty good. All I did in this image is I raised the amount of SSS - they had it really low by default.

Her texture is pretty nice as is. I didn't do any extreme closeups. Could be an opportunity for more skin work there in the shader, like moles and such.


Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
