mtpeak2 Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Hats off to Steffen and Gerald (and to all that helped) for this feature! I'm not much of a modeler and I'm not a big fan of using props, but this is fantastic. This is the first time trying this and this is what I have after a couple of hours. The spline layout may not be the best, but it's a start. Still needs work, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Quote

Admin Rodney Posted August 13, 2012 Admin Posted August 13, 2012 Looking good Mark! I foresee that in time you'll be cutting that 'few hours' down to a matter of minutes. I confess that I need to explore 'Snap to Surface' in the Chor. Up to this point I've mainly been using proxy shapes to guide the snapping to surface in the Modeling Window. Take a bunch of premade shapes and move them around to form a shape/character... lock them into position with the Lock tool... then spline all over the top of those while scrolling around in a 3D environment. Fast and fun! Your spline layout looks optimal. Quote

mtpeak2 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 Thanks guys. Here's my progress, still needs alot of work. Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 13, 2012 Admin Posted August 13, 2012 Wow. That skin looks like a photoshop blended painting... not at all like standard 3D/CG fare. Somebody tell her she needs to comb that hair! Quote
Fuchur Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 Wow. That skin looks like a photoshop blended painting... not at all like standard 3D/CG fare. Somebody tell her she needs to comb that hair! Really amazing hair and great looking skin! See you *Fuchur* Quote
Admin Rodney Posted August 13, 2012 Admin Posted August 13, 2012 Something I'd like to know for my own curiousity is whether or not you've got the nostrils closed off on her nose. The reason I ask is that there is that 'glow' that is appearing there what doesn't appear to be a byproduct of light so much as thickness of nose/skin/cartilage. The brightness under the nose seems to indicate that the nostrils aren't closed off and therefore the SSS isn't picking up the thickness of the whole volume of the head. (Sorry, I am not wording this correctly) Quote
mtpeak2 Posted August 13, 2012 Author Posted August 13, 2012 The nostrils are closed off. The brightness is due to the geometry being close together for the SSS settings. [EDIT] Could also be the specular settings and/or lighting. Quote
Kamikaze Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 That is neat..where can one find tutorials of the new features in 17? Mike C Quote
*A:M User* Shelton Posted August 13, 2012 *A:M User* Posted August 13, 2012 Mark is correct when it comes how close the geometery is to each other. After testing and testing I have found places such as noses, lips, ears, fingers, etc can be troublesome for sss. But Mark great job the look is wonderful. Steve Quote

John Bigboote Posted August 13, 2012 Posted August 13, 2012 That is one stellarly-smooth face! Looks 'overly-porcelined'... I love it! Quote
Kamikaze Posted August 14, 2012 Posted August 14, 2012 *Fuchur* hey thanks for the heads up ''''''and tut Mike C Quote
mtpeak2 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Posted August 14, 2012 That is one stellarly-smooth face! Looks 'overly-porcelined'... I love it! No porcelain, just the SSS that make it smooth. Here's the latest. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted August 14, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted August 14, 2012 That's lookin' fine, Mark! Quote
