Topology: Added some edge loops to the area between the brows, the breast and the back (for slightly more resolution to play with when doing brows expression, etc)

Shape: Elbow is moved towards lower-arm (lower-arm is now shorter than upper-arm). Butt cleavage is moved lower (previously is too high and deep)

Topology and shape is also updated in Zbrush, the normal map is rebaked (though it wasn’t very noticable)

  • adjusted shape around the hairline

❒ Blender

  • Added 3 Blender scenes with lighting (Note: model is not rigged but brought in as fbx (mesh without skeleton) from Maya)

  • Updated Blender hairs (BlenderShenya Hairs.blend)

❒ Others

  • Megascans assets are used as props in some of the rendered images. They are not allowed to be distributed so I replace the geometry in scenes with a heavily reduced mesh. Megascans Textures also not included.
