Thanks all!
Actully, i'm a bit unserten if I'm gonna use bones or clusters. But I have to try this first. The resone is because I want a fast setup for facial animation and controll.

She will mostly show different feeling and it would take to long time to make blendshapes for each...perhaps I add some later...but this will do for now!

The modeling is insane. I really like the glow from faking body hair. I agree with adding more lights and what pony said about the skin. It seems a bit plastic. Maybe it is to glossy also.

ooking good bro. The ends of the hair, however, look kinda funny. Perhaps its just the render?

Thanx! Yepp, there is only transp maps on nurbs... I played around with Paint F/X but there was just no way it was gonna work without spending too much time trying to keyframe and make it look good later...
Here's the mesh, for thoose interested!

Looks really good there on the Geo. def a step up from PFX. And it looks good at the difrent angles you have shown. My only sugestion would be the back peaces comeing out of the tail part whare it is bunched up. though might have little problems at some angles becouse they looks still a bit to flat to gard aginst them disopearing fromt the side of the geo. Maybe curve them a little ? But its rocking for stills! nice.

That's a good point pony! See if I can refine that part you mentioned. There still needs some more variations in the hair color... Well, i'll post updates later! Cherrio!

Phjuu.... I've been working alot lately so I haven't had time to do much with my char-animation...
I changed the outfit, just because for problem areas round the shoulders ect.
So this is how she looks now, still need some more tweeking on the leather...

I have recorded the mocap data and are mapping it right now... So much to do for a single person...wich I had more time but the days only have 24 hours! :o

Anyway, will soon post a walk preview!
Chao!!
