This shader is for people who use a "better" graphic card and have switched Hard-Ware-Shading "ON" in their OpenGL preview settings.

I derived it from the BagginsBill/EZSkin shader but modified it so that it looks good in the OpenGL preview while still rendering great using SSS.

Teeth, tounge, lips, eyes, lacrimals as well as fingernails all have "real" specularity that shows in the OpenGL preview, so this shader could even be used for quick and simple preview animations.

I use it for all my figures as I hate looking at figures that look rubbish in preview, so I thought I could make as well a set for Dawn.

Includes three material files: A base with the default textures, one for the glam make-up, and one for the blue eyes.

Always use the base first, then use the others to mix.

Download the attachement, remove ".txt" from the extension by renaming the file and unzip to your Dawn runtime.

Here is the shader:

This is how the base texture looks fully rendered:

This is Dawn's original SSS-shader for comparison:

And once again Dawn's original SSS shader in OpenGL preview.

@Joe. I would love to see some of your figures rendered this way i.e. something more like people would actually do rather than the 3 panel acrobatic studies. I like your ideas r.e. revamped Gen3 meshes, but it's hard to get an  idea of what they really are with that approach, valuable though it may be. Just my opinion. Very nice work BTW.

Looks great to me, thanks!  This will go a long way towards working with her.  The better a figure looks in preview, the more you want to play.

Thank you so much. Now I need to see if my old computer can deliver results like yours.
