nope its not xp64. Its also very strange the problems started with no change to my set-up at all.

Everything seems fine at the mo.

Here is my final eye test for now as I cant be bothered tweaking it any more until its in the body

As you can see I set up a second eye aswell when I come to add them to the body I will paint a second texture as having two the same looks odd

uhhh... i do incremental saves manually... i didn't know you could do it automatically

well according to the training video there is always a shadow around the pupil - its what we think is the rim - in 3d though its were the transparency map is taking place.

Looking at this in day light (another late night last night) that does need a bit of tweaking, in fact I`m not liking this eye at all - the first one looked a lot better - I think I`ll come back to this ..

Video test of the pair - VIDEO FILE

Here they are inside the head with the eye sockets edited to fit the eyes. - I`m not like the eye texture at all now but moving on for now.

Try make the nose smaller for a more feminine look.

Really - just been working on the noise to fix some of the tri`s I had on there and I think its looking a little small compared to the ref



user added image

as you can see were I copied the half of the head over the noise is a little smaller than the ref.

here is the close up of the noise clean up. Going to tweak the mouth next.

Any one got any tips on how to model the tear ducts as I`m having problems trying to get them to look right.

Think that its the difference between making an "ideal" female and a "real" female.

With tear ducts, I would use the geo thats there then extrude the actual duct and then tweek it to better fit.
