More playing around

Haven't been feeling so spiffy these past couple of days, but I've got a handle on it now so tomorow I should be all filled with piss and vinegar...whatever that means.

I did some playing around and came up with this:

«a href="http://deskmerc.com/pixors/wed0721-01.php" onclick="window.open('http://deskmerc.com/pixors/wed0721-01.php','popup','width=267,height=531,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"»«img src="http://deskmerc.com/pixors/wed0721-01-thumb.jpg" width="200" height="397" border="0" /»«/a»

Meh. Standard V3 model with some morphs and a texture. The clothes fabric does seem quite right, too much specular (the glistening, shiny white reflection) and the bump map I created seemed inferior to the task. A close up revealed:

Crap. Transparency errors. Look at that eyebrow! Awful, and the texturing isn't applied properly over the face, there seems to be some bleeding with the lips...just not what I was hoping for. Try some fixes...

Feh. Same trouble as before. I must be missing something, or am I just trying to be a perfectionist?

Not that it matters.
