Maybe DAZ should improve V8.1 skin shader???
Hi!
I did find Hyeseon Oh Victoria renders at Artstation. Its amazing, look at it:
Im not satisfied with the look of my renders anymore. Iray skin shader is terrible. I did try adjust the default dual lobe specular and SSS settings to make the skin more shiny and pale. Nowhere near what i want to achieve. Is it possible to achieve similar result with Iray? Why Iray look that much dull and flat compare to Maya's Arnold? Eyes look much better in Arnold too. But why?

Comparing maya and arnold to DS and Iray, that's funny (lots of big differences). if you have the skill you can make anything look the way you want in any software.Also Artstation is a professional artists site and DAZ is a hobbyists site
Nice but the freckles look like they are laid on top of her skin and her lipstick really doesn't look like lipstick. and not enough water in the eyes. I don't think it really looks more realistic than those intentially badly lit polaroid style snapshots.
I've seen very good and realistic renders like this in the DAZ gallery as well, it's really due more to skill and knowledge than to the tools alone I think. Also, there's something really disconcerting in the way the woman's upper inner eyelids are glowing, don't you think? Especially on the right side ...
