This is a great model and the clarity is amazing. Thank you. The drawback is the images are too dark. Is that something that you might change later?
Hi. Thank you so much for your feedback! I am already working on the second version of the model, in which I will try to fix/add what is necessary.
Would be great if you could make a normal non lighting version also.
I like the lighting it lends itself more realistic scenery well. I'm actually tired of seeing bad incorrect lighting being used in models. Washed out black levels is a major issue.
Gives you great detail and things like hair look realistic. It's great for images where you want dramatic shadows and lighting. But if looking for bright evenly lit images this is not for you.
Also it does not seem to respond to any prompts about expressions. So all faces have same bored look.
It renders beautifully but unless you make a considerable effort to enforce differentn facial features, every face is basically the same.
