    Wow she's a strong character, maybe add a light just behind the camera to brighten her face, still solid work !

    I'm so used to saying that someone is Aiko 3... in spite of not having used Aiko 3 in years and years. This is Aiko 8.

    Yes DOF always a great effect to get people to focus on the character.

    I didn't get any answers to why Iray kept resetting or advice on improving it, but in any case, this is the promised higher quality version of the (now removed) WIP I posted before.

    Big and Strong:

    A showcase prototype deemed far too cost-ineffective to replicate, "Athena Lovelace" is more than a quarter tonne of turbo-charged cybernetic super-soldier AI. Capable of simultaneous interface with hundreds of drones, millisecond reaction times, extreme precision, physical feats far beyond the capacity of even exo-armoured soldiers and superlative strategic thinking, all within a chassis designed to foster bonds within the human soldiers she was designed to assist. She lives up to her mythological namesake - she is a physical god of war, and arguably the single most dangerous person on the planet.

    Or she's "Auntie Athena". Depends who you ask.

    This was done as a contribution to the thread about misinterpreting the NVITWS acronym (so that it's not "Naked Vicky In a Temple With a Sword", although V is supposed to remain "Vicky").

    Given that I have actually previously turned (the G8F version of) Victoria 7 into a robot for one of my universes, I loaded up that character set as something a bit different (but still Victoria based).

    And so, this is "Newfangled Vicky Impersonating The White Stripes".
    (As for whether the acronym should have A's in it... well, that's the version that was in the challenge thread title, and the whole idea started as part of another discussion on creativity and inspiration, so I still see it as within the spirit of the challenge).

    The leotard looks great and the scene is lit pleasingly. Great Work!

    EDIT: Have any of you experimented with the post denoiser? I have found it saves a lot of time when you're not looking for the absolute detail. Thought to mention if anybody has any more experience and could mention some drawbacks. This question may need it's own thread tho...

    Thanks for liking the render, and sorry for late reply.

    Yes, I tried the denoiser. It works great in some cases but with respect to my test it cannot cure every noise issue. E.g. it tried to denoise the fabric's knitted texture in the new version of the scene because the algorythm interpreted it as noise. My feeling as of now is, that if I like to get as much surface detail as possible I better avoid the denoiser. But others might get better results with it.

    Edit:

    I just found out that I can put a link to the gallery :-)

    Based on this old traditional Scottish ballad.

    The Twa Corbies

    As I was walking all alane,
    I heard twa corbies making a mane;
    The tane unto the t'other say,
    'Where sall we gang and dine to-day?'

    'In behint yon auld fail dyke,
    I wot there lies a new slain knight;
    And naebody kens that he lies there,
    But his hawk, his hound, and lady fair.

    'His hound is to the hunting gane,
    His hawk to fetch the wild-fowl hame,
    His lady's ta'en another mate,
    So we may mak our dinner sweet.

    'Ye'll sit on his white hause-bane,
    And I'll pike out his bonny blue een;
    Wi ae lock o his gowden hair
    We'll, theek our nest when it grows bare.

    'Mony a one for him makes mane,
    But nane sall ken where he is gane;
    Oer his white banes, when they we bare,
    The wind sall blaw for evermair.'

    Meaning of unusual words:
    twa=two
    corbies=crows (or ravens)
    fail dyke=wall of turf
    wot=know
    kens=knows
    hause-bane=neck bone
    een=eye
    theek=thatch

    Like all good folk songs they get rewritten over time :)The Three Ravens is thought to have come from the 13th century with the Scottish one coming later. It was probably written by a Scots minstrel so he could sing it without offending anyone given the amount of fighting that went on between the Scots and the English :)

    "When is a ballad not a ballad? Answer—when it isn't sung. The Twa Corbies has for long been regarded as one of the most flawless as it is one of the grimmest of all our ballads; but it wasn't being sung. No tune appeared to survive in oral tradition and attempts at setting it remained literary, academic and dead. Then R.M. Blythman (the Scots poet “Thurso Berwick”) set it to this marvellously sombre old Breton tune, An Alarc'hThe Swan, learned from the Breton folk-singer Zaig Montjarret. The result was astonishingly right and The Twa Corbies has passed into the repertoire of our younger folk-singers. It is related to the English Three Ravens."

    I thought it must be a deliberate relation, given the common elements, but it's interesting just how differently the material is handled.
