Hrm, I know I’ve gotten normal maps in MR before, let me dig through some junk. brb

if I’m correct, should just be a “normal bump” in the bump slot on the MR shader, with your channels flipped (red<–>green) I believe.

Small crit on the face is to drop down 1-2 levels or so and sculpt in a little more “extra skin”, you can check this thread http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?t=37583

for a quick example of what I’m talking about. Check the 2nd render and look how the skin tufts under the lip on the sides of the mouth and the bulging on the sides of the nose, these subtle hints of extra skin help show the underlying skeleton better.

also add the creases of the skin that are on the top of the nostrils and define that shape just a bit more.

keep the good work my friend,
i’ve learn a lot through your progress…

will keep checking on you!

A quick update… havent had much free time these last few days. Got the normal map working and added hdri reflections to the eyes as well as reshaping the lips.

Great work! This is a really beautiful sculpt, keep it up.
(the corner of the eye is usually called the tear duct or Lacrymal gland) :smiley:

excellent update LB. Take a look at the corners of the mouth very carefully.

small update, still not having much time to work on this. Did some work on the eyes. Still need eyelashes and Hair :S

Hi guys, been some time since I’ve gotten to work on my “jenny project” but I’ve finally got an update. Ive begun to work on the hair using Max 9’s built-in hair effects and I must say, it is by far the most frusteraing thing I’ve worked with in Max, and I can’t seem to find any halfway decent tutorials online so I’m winging it as I go. Anyway, I doubt anyone will find this of interest anymore since Zbrush3 came out recently, but here’s where I am at. C&C welcome.

Hey! another Chad. lol. Awesome work! keep updatin’, bro. This has alot of potential. Looks like you’re doing better than me in Max. I haven’t even dove into hair yet.

Well it’s finally time that I think I’m ready to wrap up my “jenny project.” I appreciate the comments people took the time to write- I found them quite useful. I learned a lot throughout the course of this project and I feel I’ve improved in a lot of areas. I hope those of you looking enjoy this and any future work I do :slight_smile:

Looking great so far keep up the awesome work :+1:

your a brave one. i heard never do a significant other cause if you get it right your in trouble and if you get it wrong your in trouble. so kudos to you!

That was an awesome journey, reading from beginning to end. The texturing is especially breathtaking, especially the lips. The amount of work and detail in this project is phenomenal, very impressive.

Now you can say your girlfriend is a model!

thank you for the support :slight_smile:

I know I said she was finished, but I just couldn’t help myself…

I still think the eyes need more work done to them, they seem dead to me.

very impressive, I like it!

The white of the should have a hint of yellow in it, that would already help improve them.
