This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

I really dont know on the teeth side of things , I have heard that before but I really dont know generally.
References, I have so many of her, I think theres a shot on the earlier posts of some of the cameras with images on them, otherwise just google 'how to steal a million' you should get the same stuff I have been using. theres some nice color ones of her which are quite rare as most of her are that technicolor look or black and white, that said it hasnt been easy getting skin tones for her as she always looked bloody flawless in her appearance, she almost looks airbrushed naturally LOL
Lips, 'they stand out'??? Hmmm? no I will actually disagree with that comment John, sorry mate, its dependant on the actual person, natural lips have a fall off toward the edges anyway, which is what Ive gone for. Generally lip pigment falls off towards the outer edges more, but as I said it will differ from person to person. We all have that line below the lip, perhaps the one here is possibly too prominent in which case I could adjust the uv to bring it down but otherwise the anatomy is correct.
The majority of color images of this lovely lady has extended lip makeup over that line, so this raises the actual question of what does look right, make or no make up, or on the lip edge or over? Women with thin lips do it for an obvious reason. Typically i didnt choose an easy subject matter in this area LOL

Dave, displacement maps are used extensively in production for both character and non-character models (more so than normal maps which are more used in games). Interesting point that you make Jay about the use of displacement maps in Avatar (or rather what they were not used for), it would be interesting to know in other cases how facial expressions are handled in regards to displacement maps - frowns and facial creases changing for example.

For facial stuff its a mix, personally I have used both, but the displacement were used more for just detailing and not the facial expressions themselves. Uts all swings and roundabouts, if you can do the detail in the geo the payoff is better anyway.
anyway have an update, its coming to a close now, tweaking the lighting, as this is the setup I want, just got a few bits to do on the mesh, and also adjust the camera depth of field and then I'll bash out a big render
