I like the veins/roots on the face, but I think you should sorta fade them out as it goes further into her face instead of stopping it at a certain point, it might have a nicer effect.

I also would like to see more color on her, I think I mentioned in the last thread, something like moss or something growing on her.

Great looking model though! The picture still gives me the creeps Though. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

And I still vote for Birch Bark and Moss /images/graemlins/smile.gif

since i did this way back , probly a month ago , ive reinstalled my pc , and i lost something im sure ... coz now im having the old normal map looking odd syndrome ... so im having trouble making any of it look good ...

Steak : ive still gota try that ... u mean textured moss right , ?? coz im 4 tris off the limit i think /images/graemlins/smile.gif

damn, that sucks if you lost your normals info. i don't remember exactly, but wasn't the same problem addressed last time? so here's hoping there's a quick fix for you.

yeah, that picture is creepy/great.

[Thermidor]

yeah , KDR11k said somthing about worldspace , then i fell over and started girgling ...

Ive probly got it all on a backup disk somwhere ... well , i wasnt in this to win it ... i just wanted to see wot ppl thought of my work ... the post i did on this was the first post i had ever done anywhere .. and now im not so afraid to show wot ive done .. gota thank bobo really for starting this comp /images/graemlins/smile.gif but the rest of you guys are great .. tactful , but to the point when theres somthing wrong ... (which is what is needed)

hopefully i will get time to correct any small errors , and post a finnished shot for the deadline ... if not , ill just enter it how it is ...

[Steakhouse]

Well you have a strong chance of winning as you're is nearly done and all you need now is tweaks.

And yes I meant textured moss. Modelled would be rediculous.

[KDR_11k]

Your normal map was in tangent space but your renderer assumed it was in world/object space. Since you need tangent space maps for anything that deforms the map is correct, the renderer is merely set up incorrectly (material properties I'd guess).

[Thermidor]

still girgling ... no really , i think i get it now ...

just gota find the bits to change

She's sexxxxaaaay /images/graemlins/wink.gif Good work on the bark type texturing for her skin. What type of bark texture is it??

[gauss]

impressive stuff, thermidor. a little too monochromatic, but even that's an overall pleasing effect. a well crafted model /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[Thermidor]

well , ive posted my final entry , the finnished result is anything but perfect , but i think the contest has been briliant in MAKING me learn normal mapping , thanks bobo for putting up a great comp.
