Description
Here is Constance, she was made almost 2 years ago, but I never really used her before in my pictures (or just as background char), cause the texture she was made from was not very nice, although giving her that very special face I like. I don't want to bash that texture by giving it's name, but come on... Oo
A few months ago, I tried to stack two textures together, using one basically as a mask, to "clean" the other one. She was the first character I tried this on, and after a few hiss and miss, what you see is the result :) . The mask texture had to be not only a high quality one but - even more important - homogeneous for all body parts (no strange color changes between body and legs, etc), something that seems to be a rare quality, for some reasons. When doing, you can try different opacity settings for the mask (generally used between 25-40% in my tests), and you can keep the facial features of the original texture, by softly hiding brows, lips, and eyes area from the mask one. Once you've found a mask texture that can match well with the original one, it gives a LOT of possibilities for tweaking your own characters textures ;) .
So, that small story was just to explain that now, she can do renders like that without giving the viewer the feeling that two different textures were actually used for upper body and lower body, which was one of the main problems of the original one :) .
Thanks,

She is very beautiful, great work
Constance is looking great she has a wonderfull complexion now, and no doubt a international jetsetter layed on her yacht. Very nice render we need to see more of her now, like the use of DOF, Im back into 3d after a 7 year break and must say DAZ studio has got much better, what would be the timescale be on a render like this ???,
Thank you all for the feedback :) , and Yaesu, I'll try to compile a few tips for you in a PM, can't really say about a timescale, but I'll try to share the tips I can think about ;)
She's beautiful - very nice work
She's a sweet little beauty,lovely pose and work :)************
Constance est vraiment très jolie, et à lire ce que tu écris, je vois que tu as fais un gros travail sur les textures! Le résultat est superbe et la scène charmante, excellent travail, Nicolas!
Une jolie image avec le focus sur son visage, et bravo pour ton travail sur sa texture de peau, Constance est très mignonne, Nicolas !
Constance is a cute thing, love her rich lifestyle.
Incredible effort with your gals and renders, they look superb.
I have several characters(bought for morphs) with less than desirable quality skin, or it is my fault on lighting. I have gave up several times and used SSS materials that I find pleasing
she is very sexy and you should give her another chance at success
Well she's a cute little trouble maker!!.. and very nicely posed!! great work!!
Great job on this troublemaker, she looks super with your always fine lighting!
And now she has nothing to hide, beautiful girl!
Constance is very sweet and deserves a place in the spotlight too:) Would you mind sharing how you do this mask thing? Beautiful work as always my friend.
She is a beauty ! I agree with you. Some of the textures that come with characters are utter crap ! Your experimentation resulted in a great looking texture. It took me many months to get Miho's skin to look good. And you are right about the weird color differences between the torso and legs that you get in most textures. Probably the models are super tanned. So hard to get even toned textures. Splendid and cute render :) !
ein sehr schöner Render
Your work has paid of she look fabulous Nicolas.Very very beautiful scene and character, pose and expression. Cheers
Very cute and well composed image !!

Great job on her texture the process sounds tedious but that would describe everything having to do with 3D rendering LOL!!

Sweet girl and very fine posed! Bravo!!!

I didn't understand a bit of the explanation but I love the results. She is wonderful!
Very nicely done Navi. I thought she was a new character til I read your story. Beautiful work my friend. Love the scene, lighting and pose also. Great job once again.
