Here's a scene I'm working on ... it won't be 'finished' until we get the hair/fur rendering and some SSS. Don't know when volume rendering will be possible, so at some point I'll comp in some fire/smoke from Blender.

I intentionally made the skin and cloth materials a bit too shiny, just to show the contours better within the diffuse-only lighting.

Awesome, very beautiful model! Great character Cire! ;o))

What's the story behind that mace?

Edit
Or it's some kind of torch?:)

[Cire]

Thanks psor!

n1k: actually, it's both.
... clubbing and burning each come in handy as a tool and a weapon, so it's dual-use!

It's the figure in your avatar?!

[Cire]

Yeah it's the same, minus the face-fuzz.

Here's a link to a render from Blender (it's older, but it shows hairy and hairless together):

I love that, the facil hair is awesome...

I had thought that your avatar was someone in makeup!

Thanks! I can't wait for texture-based control of hair particles get reimplemented in Blender 2.5 ... esp. since radiance mentioned Octane supporting hair/fur at some point (soon?).

Seriously!? From a movie or something? That's cool - guess I'm on the right track with this base mesh.
