Hi

This Is the my most recent render of a model that is a long running personal project of mine,

You can view the last by Render CLICK the Thumbnail Image..


Or click on my CGPortfolio.
Have a look.

With my last render I had a lot of probs with the image mostly around a bad right eye, But thanks to may crits I have addressed these issues and updated that image., thanks for that guys.

For this one I wanted to take a much different approach,
A dark and sensual Image. (hence the nudity, I feel it adds a snece of purity and truth to the Image so please dont take it the wrong way) anyway.
I used light projection and area shadows/ Light maping and all the texture maps are large scale and painted in Photoshop CS.
the actual SSS and skin textures were taking a lot of time with the hair in the scene at that point I relised the Final Image Did not need A lot of Hair detail at all. ( because if the darkness and shadow) so I choped it. I left only a few bits plus what was already part of the painted body texture or was painted in photoshop afterwards, this saved a alot of render of time and got the same result, as you can prob point out I still have some little probs with the UVW, around the neck and some other spots.and model is not prefect but hey this is a personal project so there is a limit to the amout of time I can give it.
.
I hope you like this Image, And I look froward to your comments.

here is a snapshot I took while in construct. some model fixes since it was took. Click on the thumbnail to view.
