New Girl Nancy!!

Just a minor tweak with the gimp curves tool after render.

Strange image
But very sexy female

Wow. Very very nice. And I do not only mean the girl in the image. The image itself. I would venture to say that this is the best render of a makehuman image that in the 7 or so years that I have been using it. ( I really do not remember the first time I used Makehuman but I do remember it was at v0.7)

+1 for tutorial

Since tutorial might take a while to write up could you please for now clarify what method was it done by? To me it appears like a nice way of using some texture paint funtion, either from blender or from makehuman itself. The hair and the artifact on the neck gives away some of the trickery that, it was probably patched up from various images while texturing, but I am genuinely puzzled on how did you get the face model so close to the projected image texture (unless it simply involved just a lot of brute force manual tweaking in blender or unless the scene setup is fortunate enough to hide the artifacts well). Did you use the 3D geometry convergence program that was announced some few months ago?

Thank you so much for your kind comments, OK, I will put tutorial together I just need to find a place to post it I don't like video tutorials. Makehuman is awesome and we owe the developers lots of thanks and admiration...also the most awesome blender community!!!

It looks like the breasts and the lower part of the hair are Photoshop images of a real person. Is that true?
Did you use a photo of a real person for texture mapping, but only in those parts?
The rest of the image is dull and looks like out of the box Makehuman.

Yes I used an image which was a frontal shot from the top of the head to the shoulders to just below the breast, then created a vertex group in blender , positioned the model in the 3d view to match the image as best as possible
and then 'unwrapped from view" projecting over the image of the girl , then you match up as best you can the verts in the UV editor...a little practice to cut down on the distortion. The texture paint in blender..I used 2.70 for texture paint and 2.73 for rendering...On other models I've done I started with gimp to match the color of the photo and to the color of the Makehuman texture using the "sample points tool" but on this picture I posted I wasn't so concerned with that...also you can somewhat hide the difference in texture with gloss shader.

Oh yes when using the texture paint I start with low strength 30-40%. On images that are no so evenly lit I attempt to fix it with gimps heal tool before texture paint...sometimes works pretty well, also I normally touch up the post texture paint makehuman texture with gimps heal tool because of light and other strange artifices. I am assuring that It's OK to modify the makehuamn texture for learning proposes only.



The render was at 1000 samples, took about 3 minutes or so I have a pretty high end laptop.

I hope that helps

Now that is clever. I never thought of that! BRILLIANT IDEA.
