Description

After some messing around I finally got a tolerable render with imported content. It wasn't entirely painless though as I had to adjest the skin shaders for the model. I was able to apply the maps as usual but the bump mapping was to extreme so I had to reduce it, redo the eye highlights and reflection and add subsurface scattering. Haven't yet gotten to dynamic hair testing. The only post processing was a slight touch of local contrast enhancement to sharpen the textures a bit as the final output was a touch soft. In case anyone's interested the setup and settings are listed below: Scene Objects Daz Mike SR2 with HiRes Maps. 1 grey infinite plane for ground. 1 6ft x 6ft white plane angled upwards toward the face for use as a light reflector or bounce light.
