Hi All,
I have dabbled in computer graphics for many years, renewing my interest when I discovered the community on Renderosity, many years ago now. Thanks for all the friends, support, comments and just views! I hope that you like what you see, and don't mind my endless experimenting and daft sense of humour!I have become something of a champion for Carrara and believe it to be one of the most comprehensive and best value 3D packages available. I became known for my extensive use of Carrara's dynamic hair and 2010 has seen the release of a number of commercial Carrara hair products. I have also recorded a whole series of video tutorials for Infinite Skills Inc available over at Daz and also here:http://www.infiniteskills.com/training/learning-carrara-7.htmlOne of my other passions is music and I used to be keyboard player with progressive rock band Manning (2008-2009). I was delighted to make my recording debut on "Number Ten" released early 2009 - I also had a big hand in designing the CD cover and booklet! I am now writing and recording some demos of my own music.Thanks for looking - have a great day! Phil

I would like to rate this as your best portrait so far. For the following reasons: 1. The face skin and the hair are rendered masterfully with all the details, highlights and excellent lighting! 2. The eyes are very natural. In your previous renders eyes, although impressively good, somehow looked like gemstones rather than eyes. In this portrait eyes look like human eyes and I suggest that you keep this kind of 'conservative' eyes as a blueprint for your future portraits. 3. The teeth and the tongue have their natural colors. Again these are the colors that, imho, should be kept for photo-realistic renders. Too much white on the teeth may be OK for a commercial but not for a photo-real render. 4. But the best part, the cream of the cream, are the jewels and the jacket. The necklace and the earring are remarkably well-rendered. The ruby on the earring is conservatively shiny and that makes all its charm. The highlights on the earring and the necklace metals are spot on. The jacket, fabric is very real-looking and its slight, barely noticeable, DOF adds that finishing touch to an already remarkable work! To sum it all up, I think your 'conservative' approach in this portrait, be it texturing or lighting or highlighting, has truly paid-off. You have created a perfectly balanced and stunningly photo-realistic image!
