Hello guys,
Few years ago, some brigade demo video showed some impressive render times:

With all the progress made with the engine and denoisers, what would ...

Superbe. Never tried vdb before, what kind of material did you use?

I leave it here

Hi, yes the default displacement map is weirdly bad. I modified it to have a more subtle result, and bring back some details where it was black before. I modified the eye textures too, to have one simple map for the whole eye.
Here are the maps, happy to share:

Hello guys,

So many inspiring work here, great job guys, keep it up!

I just downloaded Emily 2.1 and made some render tests.
The work was basically redo the shaders, tweak the textures, especially for the displacement and the eyes.

You can find all the information ...

Modeling in 3dsMax, and rendering with the plugin. Here is a an update. I remodeled completely the eye, to be more accurate with reality, but I can't find any good photo a real eyes detailled enough. Or something medical. I changed the texture too.

There was the moisture, but I did ...

Thanks for the reply. Yeah something weird is happening, especially on the last shot. I need to model the eye differently I think. I perfectly see what you describe. Thanks for the high res ref.
I'll work on it as soon as I have time.

Quick update

Thanks a lot.
I modified the eye shader here And the skin surface here

The more I work on it the more I see the defects. Still need a lot of work.
But here is a render, the caustics work pretty well, but I need to change the shape of the iris. And I need to find an other way to model the sclera.
Don't pay attention to the skin, it's not high res enough.
