Love & Light Cath! I still do not know where you are finding the time girl. (smile) Can see him one day sitting there with a frog or two on his lap. ;) I do have a question about the mesh - triangles? Is M4 composed of all triangles? The mesh looks great - coming along nicely - and turning out because you do take the time to check and recheck the small details. (smile)
Mec4D
@kcorbett The triangle mesh is what I am working on until I am finished , I am exporting the morph targets and working on that, it save my RAM memory and time, after that I transfer everything to regular mesh and import into M4, so you will see nothing from the triangle no more ;) I have love to details, this one seems to be a micro textures where you can zoom into the wrinkles and see the under skin surface lol
PapaBlueMarlin
Awesome work Cath - texture realism at your level of skill has been missing for some time ;)
ramhernan
Awesome work, dear Cath! just because the meshed part i figured out that its not a picture of a living dude! the latest one was shocking due the hyper realism and the lack of eyes! creepy! lol. You push the texture details and quality to the next step in realism! Kudos!

This is really turning into a masterpiece and the eyes are looking great with that reflection, very real looking. I'm looking forward to the finished work.

can't wait to buy this!! He looks awesome! I actually really like his head morph
Mec4D
I like it too, i need to fix only the nose from the profile , he looks like a lil boy from the profile, the front and 1/4 is ok , i did this morph from my mind without any references just so i can work on the textures, b/c when u work on the regular head, and after that you make morph the textures will not looking sharp no more
