  1. Hope she has a speedy recovery!
  2. Nice!
  3. Looks great, Rodger!
  4. Looking forward to seeing what you make, Matt!
  5. I have uploaded a texturing tutorial here (Squetchy Sam is included with all assets from the tutorial), posted the same updated Squetchy Sam here (if you don't want the tutorial) and added both links to my signature. Hope they help. Next is texturing Bertram.
  6. Here is an updated Squetchy Sam...with improved textures (this is the version included with the texturing tutorial in my signature). Squetchy_Sam_03_19_2022.zip

  8. Happy Birthday, Robert!
  9. Looks great, Robert!
  10. I found a few things that needed adjusting in Squetchy Sam, so I uploaded an update version here.
  11. I found a few things that needed adjusting in Squetchy Sam, so here is another update. ---------------- EDIT ---------------- Next version of Squetchy Sam is here.
  12. I just uploaded an updated Squetchy Sam here.
  13. Here is an update to Squetchy Sam. ____________________________________ EDIT ____________________________________ This version has been deleted, an update is in the next post.
  14. Looks fantastic, Rodger!
  15. Oh, no they are not just spheres. They are built like the eyes in my eye modeling tutorial....the publicly available Squetchy Sam has the same eyes. The cornea is a disk that is added to the front of the eye...here are a couple of images and the settings for the cornea.
  16. I didn't do anything special with the lens. If I remember correctly, it's a 70mm...maybe there's a little distortion because of how close he is to the camera. It would probably flatten it out if I used a 50mm.
  17. Still a lot to do, but I liked the render.
  18. It's the same Choreography...the back-lit image has two lights, the video is one of those lights spun around Sam and the lit one is the two back lights with an additional front key light. They aren't the best lighting setups to get a beauty render, but they were useful for setting the SSS and overall checking of things. Once I get the wrinkles in I'll see if I can do a better job of lighting.
  19. The only material on this version of Sam is the basic cell turbulence displacement, SSS is 2.6, 1.7, 1.12, specularity is controlled by two decals (Spec size and Spec intensity) and all skin color is a decal which comes from a painted Krita image file where the layers can be adjusted or exported individually (each layer painted in 3DPainter, then adjusted in Krita). The backlit image is two back lights, the lit image is the same two back lights with an additional key light (not the best lighting...needs adjustment) and the animation is a single light spun around Sam over two seconds. I still need to add the wrinkles (maybe eyelashes), but I thought it wasn't a bad set of test renders. Sam_11_16_2021_light_spin.mp4
  20. Looks great, Myron!
  21. I never had much luck with displacement or bump maps using OpenEXR (not sure if it's a bug or not), I've been using TGA's. I think they work correctly...although I have been wrong before.
  22. I was aware that that is the case for quick renders, but I haven't seen it in a full render. I also haven't checked earlier versions for quite a while. Here are some quotes from Yves from this post. I'm not sure if anything changed following that post. Considering the skin texture would be different on the lips, decals for the actual texture and one Group for the surface settings (SSS, etc) would be the way to go. I got some (what I think are) improvements by dinking with a few things. Here are some settings I've tried: Specular size: 3000 Specular intensity: 30 SSS: 3.9, 2.55, 1.68 (Skin1 settings multiplied by 3) I'm currently doing some flattening in order to paint the textures (I've been messing with 3DPaint and Krita along with a drawing tablet) and I've made the eyebrows sub-dermal. Hopefully, I'll have an improved render in a day or two.
  23. Here's another test...the displacement is set to 100 and I added some more specular. I moved the lights to get a better view of the SSS as well. Currently, the material covers all of the skin, but I'll have to do some experiments with some Groups to have it different on the lips. Might have to paint it for that. I'll have to play with the color to warm it up a bit...I'll also look into painting a few areas. I'll try another one tomorrow. The hair is the hair material applied to Sam's brows...it does use MuhHair. However, I think it's picking up some of the changes to the underlying geometry as well. I might have to move the eyebrows to a sub-dermal layer to prevent that. Nice tests, Robert! I think the SSS is a bit too high on them, but the SSS settings I'm using might be a bit too low as well. For this image I went with the "Skin2" setting (1.3, .85, .56). -------------------- EDIT -------------------- It was actually "Skin1" settings (1.3, .85, .56)...same settings but wrong name initially.
