[Revisited] - Talim's Advanced Mapping

Soundtrack: My Chemical Romance - Famous Last Words



Notes
• Although it's not perfect, I finally have the understanding in 3D modeling that I lacked when I first started. 
• This is a second shot at using Talim for advanced material settings and set up due to her numerous separate meshes.
• I really like using the shrine HDRI for material testing, and because we all know that I like warmth.

About this Render
•The meshes on Talim use bumps instead of normal, which was one of the ways I learned how to apply it in Keyshot.
•For some reason, the bump files made certain parts of the diffuse meshes become extra reflective, so I had to remove it on some places.
•I found out a good way to make the gold embroidery have a good sheen and shine was through the specular map. Turning up the brightness made the gold pop out more, and for Talim's eye it made it more reflective since her eye doesn't have an eye shadow to turn to glass. 
•I couldn't decide on what her vest is made of, and it's gold trim didn't have the same attributes that the other gold trim had.
•I'm very, very happy on how the barong material of her pants came out. One of the only times that some Pinoy pride can exist in 3D.
