Excellent!!! you make it sound easy... I know its not. well done. Yes it is the imperfections in skin etc that makes it look real.

Thank you, not really easy to do, many hours of testing everything and a little bit research too but well simple is beautiful without to much MAT and complicated shaders, I trust my eyes on this, after all is simple if you know how to do it, for me always an adventure make the work more excited and I am addicted to Poser again ha ha ... DeepPaint3D is where I create my textures, UV mapping of Daz3D folk let me nothing else to do, in photoshop only would be not possible to do it..

Coming along great! But everything you do is great! (smile) I don't know how you are doing working with a mouse - I get fed up working with a mouse nowadays. (smile) DeepPaint BodyPaint are great programs for working with 3D textures. The new Photoshop CS4 also works well - easier than the earlier versions. You are a master in your music and you are a master in your 3D art! Well done! Love and Light Cath KC
