Ready For Render!

Phew! This took a bit of work. But it was worth it!

You're looking at a segment from a dream growth scene.  Excuse the poor quality, it was only rendered for a minute so I could see how it looked before going through the full 10 hour render process.

This photo is one of multiple in a growth sequence.  And it took me a good 3 weeks of my work time. Some of the challenges I faced

-Belly Button - You saw I posted earlier on a WIP how the belly button was getting warped and stretched. Had to figure that out.

-Giant Belly - I spent a good chunk of time trying to figure out how to prevent the overall lower quality texture of the skin. I didn't resolve it, but was satisfied with the belly button solution. What happens is the skin texture map just isn't meant to be blown up like this.  It's like trying to take a 1080p picture and blow it up to 4k. It just wasn't designed for that level of detail. 

-Thighs - I had some weird curvature going on where her hip bone met her thigh. Was able to resolve, you don't see it anymore.

-Nipples - The nipples were like the belly button, getting distorted and lower quality as her breasts grew bigger. I realized that the Breastacular geograft I have loaded comes with nipple UV, which gives it higher quality. If you compare these nipples to Teds dream/nightmare (which you'll see soon) you can see Sharon's nipples look different. These are much better!

-Bed Duvet - As her belly grew it "disappeared" into the blanket on the bed. I morphed it so you got a sense for the weight as she grows, the bed and cover depressing. I'm really pleased with how it came out! Unfortunately I didn't think to do it until I got through the growth sequence so I had to go back and edit all the prior growths, of which there are 5 angles!

-Hair - Sharon's hair doesn't have good adjustment options. As her head tilts up her hair was disappearing into her back. Not a big time sink but its just another thing I had to work out. 

I'm really pleased with the results and just started the long render process. I look forward to sharing with you!
