Here is a side shot and I am happy now with the hair color Steve

Here is shot of Cindy with dark hair and one last one with a some what blonde

Thank you Nancy I had changed every settings both those. Here is a shot of the finished hair will groom the bangs slightly and add the eyebrows Steve

I dont use the bias adjustments as well. I simply tweak the splines to get the smooth look. Steve

Thanks Nancy!! Steve

Thanks Gene! It has been a fun journey to learn the program. There is so much to learn. I am still modeling and rigging is just starting. Then there is animating lighting etc... Steve

Just a blog statement here. Back when Bolt and Battle for Terra came out I noticed that most of the human character design had some what of a theme to the main characters. When I began developing the characters for Cupid's Sick Day I wanted to incorporate this as well. If you hadn't noticed, all of the characters a have a lazy j look to the face. By that I have the jaw and chin extend out and a narrowed chin. I even have it on Cindy, the female, albeit it is less obvious. In drawing my sketches for the designs I started with the side view and drew a J with the vertical line laid back and no hook on the horizontal line. All the men started this way except for Tony, the hot dog cart vendor. He started with a j but it was filled in. Any way just wanted to throw that out there in case some of you had noticed. Steve

Jake, here is the render with the correct sss settings. Less waxy. Still having problems with hair shaders. Changed color of hair to see if I could get rid of the specularity. this is with black as base and black as spec, to give a shine but it looks grey? Steve Edit Here is a shot of the hair and skull cap. Wierd shot but trying to calm down the spec.

I just bought netrender update and have at least 12 computers for rendering. Now that being said I have not finished my new server and will be this weekend. You can email me through the forum and we can talk. How long is the animation? I render wrangled for TWO and have done other small project renderings for others. So long as all the chor and setup are completed I will see what Ican do. Steve

Jason, Here is a shot of the hair with all Muhair shader. Still need to work on the hair color. trying for more blond look. Steve

Here is Cindy with her her in place. Need to add the color and fullness on sides but I happy with the placement so far. Steve

really cool! This is a wonderful model Steve

Holmes you will problably get tired of me when I start rigging all the characters for the short. I plan on using the lite in all but the main characters. Your rig is a gem. Steve

Thanks Steve. I will give that a try to move the light. Steve

I had a little hiccup with 15 g but all is well. Here is a shot of Cindy with a narrowed head and sss rework. Jeff here is the shot of the face with the dark spot on her nose that I sent the email on. Steve edit: I took the pictures onto another computer and the shot appeared to be very dark. My question is, this shot dark to you guys?

South Park, Is it Kyle? I can not remember all of them!!

Excellent! Williams theater has given way to the PAC (performing arts center). The Williams Center has transformmed into a business hub as Williams communication moved in and remodeled. It was a neat place to go and have a great weekend with shopping and entertainment much like the Crown Center in Kansas City. Tulsa is a nice place to live. Steve

I like the couch. I guess it reminds me of my grandparents house. Good memories. I really like where you are going on this project. Steve

Thanks Myron, Steve, Jason! I corrected the knees as well after uploading this picture. I hope to have some first run at the hair late tonight. Steve

He will be fun to work with. Good job! Steve

Started working on Cindy again. Reduced the patch count from 5900 to 4500 and reworked shoes and legs and will need some tweaking on ankles but I am much happier with this. I have also changed skin tone and worked sss and will go with this color. I will add some make up and skin tones to help with the sss. Here is a shot of the reworked Cindy. I will have some update shots with the hair in place shortly.

You have got a really good start. I would run the splines across the nose to remove the deep angle of the 5 point patch beside the nose. Also pull the second spline under eye down. The closer each spline gets to each other the more like you will have a crease. Really good start! Steve

Wow nice job Myron. I love the look of the black background the best. Steve

Wowww!!! Steve

Good job Steve! Steve
