Texturing & Shading

All the textures were created inside Photoshop. The texture for the girl was pretty simple; after all, I wasn't looking for realistic skin. I painted warm tones using the help of a previously baked Occlusion map.

I used the Miss Fast Skin material with some hand-painted maps to control the scattering layers. The final material doesn't have any special settings; it was only a matter of tweaking the values until I had the desired look (Fig.13 – 14).



The clothing was created using some fabric textures as a base and then desired colors and details such as stitches, stamps and patterns were hand-painted after (Fig.15).



The hair uses a few hand-painted strokes to create more variation in the coloring, and uses an anisotropic Maya material.

Rigging & Posing

I used a basic skeleton on the model to create different poses. Since it was just for a still image there was no need for complex controls and a few basic blend shapes did the trick (Fig.16).


The default binding gave me good enough results on the deforming mesh. I did some minor adjustments on the elbows and knees.
