Alright. So, I started working on Fade's first challenge over on the DazAholics group on DA. In working on this, I ended up going back in and completely re-doing all of Hannah's spot scars. I found that in a close-up render like this, there was just too big of a difference in the sizes of the spots between her head and the rest of her body, and it was irking me to no end. Plus, the ones on her limbs were so badly stretched and distorted that it just plain looked awful. So, I redid the whole mess of them! Two days of drawing spots on texture maps; I swear I was seeing leopard spots in my sleep! This still isn't perfect; I'm still learning some of the finer points of creating normal maps. :) And there seems to be one spot on the upper neck that just refuses to show the spots (seriously, at one point I covered literally the ENTIRE MAP with spots and they STILL didn't show!), so all I can figure is that Genesis doesn't like that part of the V4 UV map. That's okay; this is a for-me-only texture, and not meant for distribution and we have... hair! Hair is good. LOL :D Anyway. The challenge was to do a portrait-styled render, which I do lots of anyway, but to pull it off with a single light and use just a plain black background. I only used a single DS-native point light on this one. ------------- Credits : ------------- Genesis 1 Hannah Moonriver : My freebie shape preset for Genesis.
