My first render of Maya. As usual,
the post that
Night Hacker published about her assets has proven extremely useful (big thanks to you, man). I still went through the hassle of doing things step by step rather than just loading NH's scene subset, though. Sure, this meant more work for me, but I also believe that I learnt some things along the way; the most important of them all is that DT - Yolanda's skin (used by Maya) is a horrible pain in the ass, seriously.
As for this rendering itself, I should have used either a different angle for the main source of light or a more artificial approach for the lighting as a whole (notice the ugly pattern of shadows on Maya's face). But I tried to get a more natural look instead, which did not work as I wanted to. Oh well, it is what it is. Next time I will do better, hopefully.
EDIT: If you notice, there's some nipples poking through. That was not intended, obviously. XD I'm rendering a version that fixes that right now.
EDIT 2: The fixed image. I also made her expression warmer.
EDIT 3: OK. I just exported the image as .jpg with Photoshop to reduce its size and be able to upload it directly here. Sorry for the inconvenience before.
