Description
An extreme close up - just experimenting with blurry reflections in place of specular on the skin, I like the effect but at the expense of longer render times - isn't it always!! More info on the following thread:

Peace and happiness at this time of year to you all.
Thanks for looking - Phil

I'm stealing that thread. I might steal your magical Carrara powers too - don't worry, I'll give them back one day. ;P
can never get those glossy eyes in poser:)
Very nice work.
Great!
Pretty cool looking closeup! Great looking picture! Very nice work, and Happy Holidays to you!
Massively nice, love the lashes
Very kool and highly realistic closeup! Not sure if I prefer blur-refl over spec for highlights - mixed results on my tests and paid a penalty on render time! Great work though.
another exceelent render and excellent tip!!
Excellent
Superb render. Seen some game artists blend their basic textures with a blurred version of the same bitmap, always assumed this was create softer highlights (maybe I misunderstood the reason).
Impressive work, fantastic realism.....!!!!!
Looks fantastic, Phil! :)
Wow! The ZOOM version of this is astounding: all the realistic pores and wrinkles, and just the right amount of skin shine. Fantastic work Phil!
