He seems to have figured out a way to get a smile without it looking quite so severe. Maybe it's a particular head model, or maybe it's his poser program (Daz Studio).
Anyway, still looks nice! (And it's further than I ever got with 3D models.) It's just something I've noticed in a lot of Poser-type art. |
I know the feeling. I'm finding myself spending a lot of time re-rendering because I was unsatisfied with the expression. The problem with those laugh lines is the smiling morphs for the V4 model in Poser, specifically the 'Happy' & 'MouthSmile-Frown' morphs which create those harsh lines. These modify the cheeks naturally in addition to the mouth. I generally only use those particular morphs at minimal numbers to add a bit more subtly to my expressions - the bulk of the morphs are done by combining basic morphs with the visemes.
