The skin is looking a bit too grey for my taste. Maybe adjust the color of it a bit? But maybe its a lighting issue, I'm not sure.
She also seems to have no eyelashes and eyebrows, which makes it look a bit weird.
Yeah i almost always forget to turn those back on. I turn them off to get a bit of extra speed during editing.
Ive got to study skin types more. It seems to me asians have a bit more yellow than pink/red and I tend to take out to much sometimes. Thanks for feedback.
There's a product called Altern8 that takes some of the red out and then you can add it back in with the settings in said product. I use it quite often, and it speeds up my iray renders.
Thanks, did no adjustment. Looked fine till I rendered it. Didn't feel like re-rendering. I might post a nude link to get full effect.
Most everything is on Deviantart. There's 3 tutorials i looked at but cant link then atm. Do a image search on google for realistic skin deviantart. Ive added a few tweeks but havent changed much. Still experimenting. Ive yet to get something im fully happy with. Any advice/tip are welcome.
Hi amigo, I think the problem is the way of your lighting. It's a good pose. Your shadows on the body are to hard i think. That's why I think it don't look natural anymore.
Do you use an environment map in your render settings....that can be the different between day and night. I always make my own lighting. I wil give you an example, a nude image on a black background.
nudity1
nudity2
and a closeup.....
as you can see no hard shadows.
Used lights:
Render Environment map: Barcelona Rooftops from HDRlabs.
Distant light(63,9%), a white spotlight(51,3%), a blue spotlight(46%), a brown spotlight for the shadows(46%), a rimlight(42,5%) and a specular spotlight(100%).I hope this info can help you a bit on your way to a more natural look....
