Hi there

I have had really mixed results with trying to get a glossy lip look, some images it looks fantastic, using the same roughness or much lower values results in zero glossiness (very flat dull look)... is this due to the poser texture perhaps or are there other factors that go into this, ive played with lighting, roughness and with bump values.

thanks

Hi rhere 3dZen. What I found was that you can push up the specular value and decrease the roughness. Under Bump ad a alphaimage then choose the lips under the octane material tab. Then icrease the the bump value to about .15 and click the invert tab. It should be working as you intend.

thanks
I have done (I think what you suggested) but must be mes sign something up

My figure is using your 2.5 SSS Selected, Teh SPec value - to increase i move the Reflection Value under that - right? It was at .9 already. Now im not sure i understand you on the bump sugetetion, do i change the Bump to alphaimage, this is what i did, then moved power to .15, invert enabled and roughness sis at .0015

Still dull lips

Oh and I used the 2.5 SSS selected before with out issues perhaps this is the texture from Poser?

Im going to upload a v4 material that ive tweaked a bit. The leyes i have used Face offs technique and the skin and so on is a little different from my redspec ones. The lips are very shiney so II just up the bump. The file will be called superspec Beta

your great , seriously at the very least i can look at it and see what things to change etc... really appreciate it. I assume same link as the SS shaders you have? thanks

Thanks i down loaded, these are the setting i have i changed the bump a bit, lips are still dull i think it must be the V4 poser texture?

Here is some test renders

Im getting odd results with lips and the settings, these settings had exactly the look, a slight gloss on the lips in one render, then i did another render and the lips are dull (again). Maybe its lighting but i really did not move or change lights too.

Can anyone take a look at these settings and confirm i should get a glossy look on lips with them or suggest what i should change ?

thanks

yep your right, thingk there sumthing not quite right

what V4 model are you in your test so i can use the same test as you have?

The odd thing is the effect was there last render then next one gone.

ill re adjust the lights and re import figure etc.... the model is the Runtime DNA Alfaseed Yly / Alice model with Natural make up.
