High-Res Skin Images

[HerbertCG]

The good thing about the work on a photography studio is all the cameras you have to play with. I asked a friend to take a few pictures of her face with our 39 megapixels Hasselblad H3D, so that I'd have some nice high-res images to use as skin texture, make brush alphas, etc..

I put a few of those images together on a zip file for you guys to download. I had to save them as .jpg files (each .psd have around 100mb), but I'm pretty shure it hasn't lost it's definition.

I also put together a preview of the images, so you can see what it's about. The images are around 6400x4800 pixels, except for a few ones I had to crop.

You're so lucky getting to play with a Hasselblad H3D, I'm a photographer myself and I've never even touched one. Thank you for sharing.

Hasselblad ?

oh

my

God

The sharpness is really impressible, as there's no antialias filter in front of the sensor.

next time, you should try to light using a beauty dish instead of a octobox.

Wow.. great pictures, what amount of detail!

very generous thanks a lot

[HerbertCG]

It's nice to see that you guys liked it!

I'll take more photos this week. More body parts, and a few pictures from a guy too.. beard, a more hairy skin, wrinkles.. etc.

If you have any suggestion, just let me know. And if you know a better way to light it, in order to get a better result for CG work, it'd be great!
