I've been trying out different skin colors and SSS settings on Al Capone.

 

I like the first one best so far. The dark lip line is not intentional. I guess you can't use groups to create different colors on the model, the edge of the group is always dark. I'll have to use a decal.

Was just looking at the master splinesmanship on this... minimal and elegant! SHOULD animate well and easily... wondering what you are planning for the HAIR?

thanks, Matt!

 

 

Here's my first attempt at hair. That black I-talian hair is going to be tough to light to look good.

Start-over on the color map...

 

The eyebrows still look ghastly

 

What problem are you running into with eyebrows? Are you using a density map (decal) for the eyebrows? Are you having trouble combing them?

 

It's looking pretty good. But maybe that baby face could use some roughing up textures for more he-manliness ? ie pores, irregularities, scars, etc...unless you want him to look smooth.

thy are mapped and combed but they don't look like eyebrows to me

 

I also have a problem where the 5-point patches don't put hair where the map says it should be.

I want to add that. I'm still learning how to paint that.

Have you tried putting a denser mesh, made only of 4 point patches, just under the surface and have this as the hair emitter rather than using the actual surface of the head.

Might give you more control.

Yeah. Maybe I can make them transparent and put them right level with the surface.

 

Here's what it looks like with the five-pointers at the top of the nose. It's like it wants to make a mono brow but not quite join them together. :angry:

I found you can adjust the map in the UV editor to fix the hair placement. Usually, the hair being out of place mean the decal is being stretched.

It's really pretty conventional in terms of placement:

Just in case anyone missed my image contest entry, this is the state of the Capone so far...

This is by far the minimalist patches for a realistic model of a head I have seen pulled off! I love it!

 

Thanks!

Thanks! I did use painter a little for the blushes on the cheeks and general coloring.

Rob,

 

Very well done. Did you use Painter for the facial stubble or A:M's hair particles?

 

The stubble is actual A:M hair, but I did very slightly paint some gray in that area too.
