I can only get this method to work around half of the times I've tried, and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong on the half that it doesn't. 🤷♀️ 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Another problem is if you've got a scene with movement, of course. This one had some birds flying around, but they don't seem to have caused problems. I like it when it works: it's a very neat solution, and it gives one more control over it. On top of which, I occasionally crash when I turn DoF on in BD. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

That has the ring of truth it. The Depth Map method, using the 'levels' trick, is rather elegant, but probably not a 100% foolproof (when doing the 'quick-and-dirty' demo version of it), as white/black around edges (that would normally already have some anti-aliasing going on at their borders) may not be selected to become fully black for the alpha map. You'd need some anti anti-aliasing tool for that. Or maybe just a thin 'feather' around the alpha mask, who knows? Of course, I feel dumb now even talking to you about this, as you, very obviously, have a tenfold better understanding of PhotoShop than I do. 🥰 Just meant to say, I feel you're probably onto something with the alpha-layer borders. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Meh -- I'm not PS expert, by any means! I think what you describe is more or less what's happening. It might indeed be possible to doctor the map in PS where that occurs -- dunno! Haven't tried it! Maybe I will now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Especially on your avi, which is so Angelic to begin with. ❤️ N.B. I've been raking my tiny brain on why faces actually almost always look better that way. My preliminary guess is, that, in absentia of true facial detail, our brains just resort to interpolating a lot, just fill in the blanks, as it were, with what we know a face should look like -- a process in which the details are just assumed, whilst hidden (as opposed to visibly not there). I tried this earlier, on another Chloe picture of mine. And just a teensy bit of overbright really works wonders for me! 15 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Gobilly 2,245 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I did another look with Catwa's Freya head while it's still a gift. That's ending soon (May 24th). I wonder what they'll do with it after that. 22 Link to post Share on other sites
