Hi all,
this is brian, a colleague of mine.
i made this image for experimental purposes with vray nightly builds and its native curve rendering of hairfarm plus some investigations on 3d dof, photogrammetry, hdri, etc
Hope you like it.

Excellent start
The eyes and eye lids looks a bit weird

looks really good…looks very realistic except, the DOF is a bit strong for a natural look, IMO.
Would like to see one with less/no DOF to get a look at the hair and shirt…Good job!

Thanks.
I’ve attached a version with less dof (even though the previous one was done trying to mimic a picture i took of him, i agree it’s maybe too much but i was going for an optical correctness) and a couple of crops from the native resolution (4k).

Wow, that looks even better, again nice work, skin and hair look very real…
…as for DOF, I wasn’t imposing it was incorrect, just wanted a good look at the skin/hair materials…

Thanks again.
Sorry mate, i didn’t want to be rude, i said that just because i agreed the dof could be disturbing but i intentionally choose it that way. You’re not the only that said that (basically everyone else :smile: ), so i guess this is the case where trying to mimic reality it’s not that realistic right?
Cheers.

No worries, you were not rude…and it may still be realistic (just wanted to see those nice details.)
Again, good stuff…I never try making cg peeps, so I am often amazed at some people’s creations.

very impressive work - CG faces are the holy grail for sure, and this is a great effort. I reckon your mate would look exactly like that if you took mushrooms, so you only need to remove the trippy factor! :slight_smile:
