There's been some improvement lately for blender's raytracer, Cycles, mostly hair rendering and SSS.<br style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />I wanted to play with these new features, so I made this.
Made with Blender 2.66.5 r55744 (bot build) and filtered with Gimp.
Here's the submitted image on deviantart: http://thetetine.deviantart.com/art/CyclesRedhead-364059767<br style="color: #000000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" />Also, I used the neat tutorial from BlenderCookie on hair styling : http://cgcookie.com/blender/cgc-series/creating-long-hair-blender-cycles/
Wow. Very painterly. Would not pick this out as 3D if shown it out of context.
Excellent work!
Thanks, check out the tutorial on hair styling from Blender Cookie, it really helped me achieving this result =)
Never seen better hair in a Blender picture - wonderful, phantastic! Many thanks for sharing.
Tetine, please, tell me: How can I make a superb model like you do? I mean, in addition to patient, work, talent, feeling and....too much work. What is the secret? Congratulations!
I've just tried to render this redhead with 1000 cycles ...
Thou, Tetine, have skills!
I also like the light; like a pro photographer would set it up. Nice.
I can't believe it, just excellent work! She looks very pretty and real. Congratulations and thanks for sharing!
Bravo, on such an amazing render. The best character model on Blendswap
That's nice. I cant ever seem to get particle hair to look right so I'm going to use this as a study.
.............................................................woooow :O Sooo nice!!!
it's simply amazing..... but i do have one question. how do you get the hair to curve smoothly in particle edit mode? when i am in particle edit mode, my hair is extremely jagged. straight and jagged. but i noticed your hair doesn't go through the vertices, but makes a nice curve. how? thanks
Blend file not exactly rendering what thumb nail is showing. I had to tweak on hair parameters to match what you're showing. Maybe hair system has some fundamental changes.
The link to Blender Cookie hair styling doesn't work anymore. Comments to the model later --
very nice work...
