Texturing tips

Then I started to add textures to the girl.


Textures are the most important factor to the final realistic girl. There are many high resolution human photos and textures on this website www.3d.sk - I selected a photo from here for my girl's skin.



These are the textures that I have composed in Photoshop from the photos.

Shading tips

I use ‘mental ray fast skin sss' to shade the girl's skin. The shading network is shown below. I used almost the default setting of ‘fast skin sss', but I still created some delicate effects with it, such as colourmap will turn to grey on the edge. Also, the bump value will turn to a high value on the part facing the strong light. Facing ratio can also create a fake ‘fuzz' effect.
