When the Oxygen Texture/Character set became available, we knew we had the basis for Vanilla, so where to start? After careful testing, we realized we had to rebuild parts of the texture, without losing detail, in an effort to remove the grainy specularity that made it so popular in earlier versions of Poser. So from head to toe, we infused a little color into her, evened and smoothed skin tones, while keeping some of the most significant and memorable characteristics that made Vanilla, "Vanilla Sky". We tweaked the SSS to a subtle perfection, no overglow, no fake orangy red built into the main texture, instead a very natural skin, with natural detail in a soft, realistic way. It takes a little work to get SSS to do what you want it to, it required a study of IDL Studio 2 and the idea of color being gathered and infused. It required a better understanding of the role of lighting and posing. So we worked, and worked, and then worked some more. For us, Vanilla is reborn.

She's got a softer detailed skin, new eyes, new eye shaders, a new skin shader in several different very subtle colors, and a glossy lip shader to accompany her beautiful self. We also added some other small details that will leave you smiling render for render.
