Description
Thank you for viewing my image, and more so for leaving a comment. This is a re-do of a scene I created some time ago, featuring Pixeluna's Syri.
Technically, my focus was developing a hair shader that uses a texture without burnt-in specular, then does the specular thing based on the lights in the scene. This particular hair (VioletHair by Lady LittleFox) lends itself well to this technique and shader. Other hair, not so much.
I was hoping to create a "write-once, use-everywhere" shader for hair, but as it turns out, more depends on making a decent displacement map and how well the underlying mesh supports applying this strategy than just what the shader can provide.

I really love this portrait. It's just so peaceful. And the hair did come out beautifully. It sounds like you have the same problem I do, though in a different direction. I use the same hair shader everywhere, but I do have to optimize it for the hair I'm using. I don't find displacement or bump that important, but I do find SSS, transparency, and textures very mesh and mapping specific in ways that determine how I have to set up my shader.

A very sensitive and skilfully crafted work of portraiture. The shader work perfectly accentuates the hair texture, and brings the character to life. I always have a challenge here on specular and often end up adding a little postwork to overcome the shortcomings. Her expression is subtle and pensive, yet hints at some developing conflict, as perhaps framed by the dark clouds in the background. Beautiful lighting work on skin and cloth really make this character really stand out, in further testimony to the skills applied in creating this image. A first class render!!!
