Description
[link]The funny thing is the fact that the original version of this pic was done in November '08, and it was just me testing how far the Krystal model's legs could go outwards before suffering any mesh deforming issues.
The pose ended up looking so nice that I threw clothes on her, added a quick background, and fired off a render. Maybe it was the blatant cleavage exposure, but it seemed to go over rather well with the viewers.
When going back to my old renders, I realized that one thing that really could make the picture look better.... were some damned reflections. Surprising, right? I throw 'em on most anything nowadays.
Sooooo yeah, I remade the pic from scratch, put different hair on Krystal, and there you have it!

Certainly made her limber, at least.

Could she do that while Dressed as Sam Fisher?
Cuse it'd really fit.

Maybe someday, I'll attempt that.

Damn!!! I don't think I can pull off that one without splitting on two

I could probably do about 3/4 of the way down... but I certainly wouldn't feel good afterwards.
I know that I've certainly tried on occasion, out of necessity (being a goalie in hockey)..

Hahaha wow, nice... I know, I mean I'm mine of flexible too, but this just rubber-like hahahaha, I don't really think anything less than a well-trained gymnast could make it out this one.

What program? And how do I get it with her in it so I can make my own stuff? Please!?

It's the hair that comes with the Miki 2 model, actually. :>
I chose it because it still really looked like Krystal's regular hair, but just more realistic. :>

I love her hair and expression. The reflection on the floor is nice and glossy.

Yeah, I wanted to experiment with different hair, since everyone uses the same ol' one, y'know?

Personally, I like it better. It looks more pretty :3.

Now there's someone who's ready to pounce. That or simply slide right at you, taking out your legs as she tackles you to the ground.

Ever since I started being creative and used other hair models.

Clothed? I can still see her limbs but not her back.

Trust me. She is clothed. You're just not looking close enough.

I only see her top. She could be without panties for all I know.

That's why the skeptics get shown this. [link]

Is the image in the link your work too?

Yep, it is. :> Guilty as charged

make Krystal's skin reflective. See how it ends up
I think i added slight reflections to a "oiled" bodyskin once, took quite a bit longer to render, but you could see how the proximity of the character's hand near a oiled shoulder made a difference...
But yeah, this looks pretty damn awesome. Not minding the hairstyle, either XD

Now.. when you say reflective, I'm assuming you mean a very low value on the reflect node, like 0.1 or so?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah, with a raytrace reflection material connected into it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll give that a shot sometime.. I usually just use the "Add Reflection" button in the Advanced tab of the Material Room, and just tweak the resulting nodes

I've definitely noticed an improvement in the renders, especially starting around the time you got a new machine, if I recall correctly.
The floor reflections look incredible, by the way. The way the reflections form on the individual panels really add to the image.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, is that Krystal's original hair texture on a different mesh? Just curious, as I've never been adventurous enough to try transplanting the textures onto different hair models.
Excellent render, though.

The new computer allowed me to do "test renders" at a higher quality than the final renders from the old computer, due to the much reduced render time..
The hair Krystal is wearing in this picture is actually the default hair for the Miki 2 model. I took the blonde hair texture, and started messing with the diffuse color in the Material Room.

Heh, I know what that's like. 
Oh, so that's the default hair texture for that particular hair mesh? Wow, I'm even more impressed now.

The hair color matching consisted of me fucking around with different shades of blue, and constantly doing a spot render of an area of the hair, against a part of her fur.

I must say, compared to your 08' render, you have improved quite a bit!

Lighting, lighting, and more lighting. It's what I try to stress on other people who do 3d renders, because it can make or break an image

Wonderful render! Love the reflections! The way you did the hair over the left eye is also quite nice.

What do you mean by "Maybe" it was the cleavage?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Reasonable doubt.
I hear it's a powerful thing in Florida. XD
