Project: Leila progress 02

I've already finished the eyes. Here they are.

I'm planning to put Subsurface Scattering on them too like what the Blender team did to the rodents' and the bunny's eyes on Big Buck Bunny.

As you can see, their eyes look a little bit squishy. Some more texture tweaking and i believe i can make them look realistic enough. As for my eye models, they still don't have veins and normals. I usually add normals to produce a non-smooth surface to make the specular highlights bounce a bit off when viewed in a different angle.

As for the head, i've added eyebrows. This is the first time i drew the eyebrow texture straight to the head texture and added specular and bump maps to it to distinguish its material type, hair. Here is a render using the same camera angle with eyebrows added.

I've also tweaked the face a little, specifically the nose. I wanted it to look a certain way but i couldn't. I don't know if you'll notice the difference, though.

Here's another render with a larger camera lens:

This angle looks pretty nice to me. I wanted to eliminate lens distortion that's why i increased the lens size. I changed it from the default 35mm to 50mm. I tried 80mm but it looked dull so i guess i'm probably staying with 50mm. I might do further experimentation on the lense sizes though so i'm not certain with it.
