Liliana at 70% with her skin

Diva goes so well with all the other morphs! And she does look gorgeous wearing Jojo mats.

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks Lorraine I really love the way she works with the Lilliana morph and texture she looks more Sprite than child though.

 

[jonrea]

Lovely

These are great. I look forward to when we can all play with Diva.

Looking very good Pen.

So I was taking a break on the poser mats which I have a basic mat setup done for. I still want to see if I can do a sss one for Poser though...

and was playing in DS and came up with image...50% Fawn head and ears dialed in.

 

[Lorraine]

Cute! I've done a render using Fawna's mats but never thought to dial any Fawna in! Diva does make a sweet elven/sprite/fairy with the fantasy mats

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks that she does...mind you even with a custom shape for her in the fairy outfit I had to add a push modifier as the leotard was poking through around the chest.

Hey Pen, I can't remember if its been said (heaps of pages to go through again ) but when Diva is available do you need Dawn or Luna as well? (I have Dawn but not Luna)

 

[Pendraia]

Diva is a morph for Dawn...I used
Luna in her creation which is why I'm doing this as a commercial product. Hive wire have been really great and Paul has helped with converting her to Poser.

You shoul be able to get her working with just Dawn. I believe NA doesn't have Luna but she hasn't had any issues...

 

[Rae134]

Cool, thanks Pen, I really don't have a need just yet for a baby/toddler so haven't got Luna yet (she is wishlisted but Diva is just the right age I have in mind for a couple of renders

EzSkin 2 and 3 can be a great help here. But for Dawn I always (anything not FF) had to use mask for SSS on face, or had carrot color around eyes. (Iray mats for DawnSE use it too.)

 

[Pendraia]

Are you talking about a specular map?because I have one of those...

 

[phdubrov]

Well, my bad. Threre no SSS mask in Iray mats, but I was shure it was here And why I was so shure in it???

 

[Pendraia]

Not sure I've see iirc sss colour maps but I'm not really sure how they are used

 

[phdubrov]

Not sure I've see iirc sss colour maps but I'm not really sure how they are used

in a mix-style SSS materials - you mix basic diffuse/glossy skin with SSS component(s) where you feed this map(s). In DIU (Daz Iray Uber) it will be transmitted color in volume section. (If I'm not mistaking again )
In Poser it will be blend (mix) between basic skin and Scatter where SSS color map plugged in scatter.
It's kind of dermis map, if diffuse map is epidermis map. But it is somehow legacy.
The thing is that with good (scan-based) diffuse map it is unnecessary, because such map already has all needed information. And weight (grayscale SSS) map is used to compensate differencies in geomerty between human body and model (eyes area, brows...).
For some older characters I mixed this SSS color maps with diffuse maps to get good results.

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks for the info I believe one of the merchant resources at daz had that type of map. I always wondered how they were used.

 

[Zaarin]

This is some really impressive work!

 

[Pendraia]

Thanks Zaarin...
