I've finished a full piece of artwork with this. See the gallery post here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=12573&p=30525#p30525

Actually using it in a piece has let me figure out a bunch of issues. Progress continues.

How did you make this Anime style? Did you use Toon shader for Diffuse and Specular settings?

Yes. The shader is the same basic setup as described in one of my older articles here: http://www.aversionofreality.com/blog/2 ... ader-group

EDIT: Note that I'm using Cycles here, not Blender Internal.

It's time for a new WIP as I continue development. Doing a pose like this has required me to work through a lot of weight painting issues. This will probably end up needing to be a proxy with custom weights due to topology needs for the shading, and also some areas just being too different to work with the normal weight and bone layout (eg. the eyelids.)

Some problem areas are the knees (using a corrective shapekey here), the shoulder/armpit area (has definition but the shader won't get it at this angle, so more a shader problem), and the bust (due to weights being wrong, bending her back causes her bust to enlarge...doh!)

Are you using 'breast bones'? I also normally have five vertebrae bones, as my martial arts poses require greater flexibility than the standard Makehuman rig. This combination of bones really helps my more heroically-proportioned females, as then the breasts can ride on the ribcage during a backbend, and can sway when the character is running.

It's just a problem with a couple of loops that ended up on the wrong bone when I was making the changes to the torso. So instead of moving properly with the breasts they stay still and stretch.
