Thanks guys, really appreciate it. Hopefully I will be finishing the realtime girl up soon.

So about the eye:

I am going to start tutorializing and making the finished parts of this available for people to download and use/learn from. So eventually the eyes, teeth&tongue, skin, and all the meshes and models. Focusing more on rendering etc. than sculpting, since there are already a ton of really good tutorials on that aspect.

So this is the first piece that is up, the eyes. Scene files, zbrush tool, meshes, textures, lighting, and tutorial on making the shaders.

Some work on this girls hair, and a couple changes to the body.

Great work on the textures, as well as the sculpt.

Her face is reminding me of Miley Cyrus a little bit.

Shes at the far end of my list of priorities right now but I can still render at night.

She looks fabulous!!! If she is at the end of your list of priorities I’m very curious what is on the top of your priority list :D. Keep up the good work.

[MattBerg]

Amazing work!! Definitely the best photorealistic females I’ve seen. I was wondering what your technique is for the real-time hair? Are those just alpha cards?? looks so real…

[Jake_Rupert]

Nearly perfect work.
Still it stands out to me , that the lower lip looks somehow " stitched in "

[Ouran]

Amazing work. Your thread is a great demonstration of perseverence.

Thanks guys.

Was updating the shader to the new vray skin mtl and it crashed on me, here is where I left out. Need to rebuild a lot of what I lost but I figured out most of the controls so not a total loss.

Forgive the render errors etc, this was the only image in my render temp folder, but I kinda like the image with all the stuff on it, give it a kind new-age-aesthetics digital construction look.

More work, Im starting to dislike this new vray skin mtl though, everything is faked, and it takes a lot to go back and try to get the correct results (green and reds caused by forwards/backwards scattering). I might go back to sss2.

Spent a couple hours doing a test pose and some slight variations, and then some test renders. Maybe others will disagree but I feel like the most natural pose is the one in the zbrush screencap.

[NWoolridge]

The sculpt is amazing, and I am hesitant to criticize, but the “hands-on-hip” pose seems somewhat unnatural, almost as if she is dealing with abdominal pain, rather than standing casually. I think a typical hands on hip pose has the hands somewhat lower, the wrist more posterior (to the back), and the tips of the fingers more lateral (not so close to the centre)…

[FONT=arial]I’m still working on it compositionally. This one is closer and more framed, and I got to keep what I liked about the lighting. I will try some others.
[FONT=arial]The curtain is awful, bump too strong, etc. I will probably go with a more crumpled fabric, with a visible hem and stitch instead of a border like this.
[FONT=arial]The model needs a lot of tweaking and sculpted (no displacement here either), but I want to make sure I have the image down before I finalize her, hair and all.

Here is an update to the primary composition, and then second is an alternate idea I had and threw together last night.

wuaau nice !

Every picture tells a story.

And when I see a young hairless female with a sad expression on her face who is standing stark naked in front of a mirror whilst observing herself and grasping her belly as tight as this one does, I cannot help but think she has been diagnosed with cancer and has less than six months to live.

The realism is stunning, but that is the story your image tells me.

[ysalex]

She doesn’t have hair because it’s a test render.

[SPRINGFIELD-JACK]

She doesn’t have hair because it’s a test render

End of story!

[ysalex]

The new composition with some other tweaks and model changes, still a lot of clean-up, sculpting, and detailing work to do.
