oh, this is really nice!!!This is a roan texture I started last night, still a lot of seam work needed yet. The textures on the hair and eyes are all laurie's as I'm only working on the coat so far. The shape on the horse is from my "continental heavy" although dialed down to 60% and 40% of my "cute pony refine" dial. The Continental Heavy is an amalgam of some of the heavier European breeds, you rarely see purebreds over here.View attachment 30292
great lighting!@CWRW I think I am getting close but not perfect but close IMO.
The Photo reference shows me the photo was taken with a High ISO etc given the sun in behind the camera and yet the sky behind is blown out. So the sheen isn't going to show what Iray would look like at default settings. That is just my opinion.
From what I can see Backscatter isn't going to work as I hoped.
However using Top Coat Anisotropy to spread out the sheen seems to make it better.
Anisotropy Rotations won't work for 3DL (Uber Surface) or Iray given the direction of the the hair (particularly the mane and Tail) on the diffuse maps are in different directions this also applies to the coat. The reason why this is needed is that each hair is a surface on it own and therefore will spread out the gloss along the hair. But you can adjust the rotation to suit the cam angle and get sort of close as shown in image 2 below. I used a value of 0.35 to rotate the direction of the gloss.
From all the work I have done in Iray I could wager on for the sheen to work properly it would need a grayscale map that looks like hair, i;e; a new Bump/Normal maps that simulates hair. We can control Top Coat weight via a Bump or Normal map which adds more variation in gloss.
Here is the initial result. Default Iray Sun/Sky
