Ok, a updated version of the head rendering.
I blended 3 materials together with some custom painted maps, faking a little SSS by using Diffuse Transmitter.
Also some eyelashes were added and lightning improved a tiny bit, output is still 100% Indigo, no post-pro.

Thanks to the help of fused I now can use the "centralized" Displacement map, here is the quick how-to:

The C value of Disp. Texture needs to be minus 1/2 of B.
So a disp. with value b = 0.01 needs a c = -0.005 to work fine with pure 128 RGB gray not displaced,
higher values (brighter) get etruded in normal direction, and lower values (darker) aginst the normal direction.

I also dropped the bump map totally, here the result:

Wow, this looks like a photograph. Amazing work, Pixie. If I had one criticism it might be that the left side of the face looks a little too bright, but that might simply be on purpose. :)

If you talk about the face, then its by me not pixie :roll:

The Histogram tells me that there is overburning of the image!
Sounds like your monitor needs calibration, the right side of the face is maybe even to dark :lol:
the bright/dark style is actually wanted btw...

neo0: He said the right side might be to dark -.-

Zom-B: Great work btw, i would love to see it on a diffrent face model aswell, cause i have seen that some materials looks sweet on one model, but breaks apart when applied to another :)

This whole material setup is based on 5 textures and 3 materials blended together, I hoped to learn some material workflow that can be applied to every such human situation.

I still have a few plans with this boy:
- blend in a SSS material for (best visible for ears)
- open eyes
- A nice Haircut via Hair2Mesh technique and also some facial Hair.

Good approach with faking sss. I'd paint tatoos on this guy :twisted:

I remember Ono suggesting the use of a glossy transparent material for basic skin, and with a transmittance layer (the original albedo map probably) for skin color details. Blended with another material of course.

Is there an exponent map ? Probably, but if not you may use the displacement map, with cavities being more shiny than exposed surfaces, unless its the other way around...

I have seen Oren-Nayar materials in the gallery of the head ressource, but the surface details should alleviate the need for this. Hint ?

Interesting, thanks Zom-b. There seems to be a bluish tint around the edge. Did you use absorption-layer-transmittance for the skin colour?

That is one sweet bit of texturing.

How spooky would it be if he opened his eyes and said boo! :shock:
