excellent, I still haven’t gotten over your David model yet, and here you deliver another masterpiece!
Did you render the hair seperately? Whenever I try to render with the hair I get an ERROR: Cannot allocate memory 
It’s some mental ray error. I have 2GB of ram and it gives me problems.
And when I try to render just the hair as a pass, it doesn’t render it. Can you please help me please. Anyone.
Great work by the way, I was watching you create her back in the CGTalk Forums, very inspiring.
Thank you for any help you may provide
Haunting realism.
Great work man 
I thought Jacques Defontaine (aka The Ripper) digital humans where good, man, when i saw this likeness my balls fall into the floor! You are a master, congratulations!
Hello,
oh wow, thanx for all the compliments 
Sebcesoir - thx for the input. I want to use light pink color for the lips, the shader is giving me hard time to adjust the color 
voodoomonkey - I used Zbrush to model the face, I used the base mesh from natalie/david. This one by far the hardest one :(, those smooth surface really killing me 
x-titan - yes, I did 2 renders and combine them, but they are not rendered as passes. I render one image with the hairs + medium poly head + no eyes, and the other one no hair but complete face, then combine them
If that won’t do, maybe the hair is too much :(. Or perhaps try using lower res texture? Last night I tried to render the first one on 1800x1350, and somehow it works (1 gig ram), though it took a good 13 hours to render :(.
If you have any more suggestion, that would be very nice to hear
thx again.

Outstanding work. The character likeness is SPOT on. Only one crit with the rendering. I really like the challenges you’ve set out… reconstructing specific shots and lighting. However, each one has the same issue, the specular shading is nearly invisible.
Her real skin is much more specular in each shot, so you could stand to work on that. You might even do a seperate pass with a different shader.
However, if you’re using the fast skin SSS MR shader, there is a lot of control in there for specular shading. I often speed up my tests by using a second SSS shader with all features off (or black) except for the one I’m testing. So you can really work on your hilites by themselves… and not bother doing all the other expensive calculations. Anyway, just a suggestion. Great stuff.

Its cool that someone has the wisdom of giving some critics on a peace that is allmost perfect. I really like you’re models, I saw it on CG and I was amased.
Good luck.
wow
I cannot see how it could be more AMAZING! One billion x 
Wow you nailed her. Excellent work!!
Hello,
MrHopper - thx for the crits, I never try to do the SSS test one by one like that, but it seems really usefull . About the spec, I reduced them on purpose to create a more smooth/make-up feel skin hehe 
Wim - thx, but ofcourse this is far from perfect, that’s why it’s really nice to hear some crits/suggestion.
anyway, I got a request for a print, so I had to do a quick update to make it look okay. So this one is still not finished yet
here is the render:
here is the ref pic for the smile:
I’m currently working on earrings/necklace, and upper body a bit…
Any comments are welcome

Dude she looks great you nailed her!
looks good, needs a little more color in the lips though.
add some very subtle imperfections to the skin texureand add a subtle slight bump map on those imperfections for even more realism
why hasn’t this made top row - or did it? [edit: it did it did!]
there’s 3 things that tick me off…
- this isn’t top row
- you can do that and i can’t
- this isn’t top row
[edit: yay! rock on mods! i’m no longer ticked off… well except for number 2]
Scary i thought it was a picture at first too.
My Only suggestion is to try and copy her expression a bit.
By the way is there any other way to make hair like that?
Wow, that has to be the most realistic female head I’ve seen if a LONG time if not EVER. Words fail me
The quality of the light in the render is astonishing, and the model is worth it.
Very beautifull, a pleasure just to look at! small_orange_diamondsmall_orange_diamond
I think its better now, those little details can make a difference. So you gonna make the upper body hé;) cant wait to see that! I will check if the proporsoins are ok…
