The eyes should ideally be getting set by default, but there's a color input specifically for that on the eye shader called g_WhiteEyeColor, where you can set it to whatever you want.
Hair is gonna be a similar situation, it's got color values you can change however you want!

The grain is from Blender just needing to work harder, since the shader setup is much more complex. When rendering with high settings that should go away.
The sheen can be reduced by bringing the IOR value closer to 1, Blender has it at 1.5 by default for some reason. Or darken the Specular Tint col

Example of this: bsky.app/profile/kaj....

Also make sure that when you're importing everything your Working Color Space in Blender is set to Rec.709 (which it is by default). I've noticed the colors get imported wrong on something like Rec.2020, gonna look into a fix for that.
Good luck if you decide to play around with it :D

For detail FFGear (and I think also Meddle now?) adds the little tiles for fine-grain detail, if you haven't used a shader with that it makes a huge difference. FFGear also has a slider for the intensity of them. If that's not enough try adding a slight sharpness filter when compositing.

FFGear has easily accessible sliders for tweaking material properties like saturation, works on all gear. If you find the coloring lacking on the Meddle shaders those could also just get a Saturation node slapped onto them. Or just up the saturation of things like the skin color, easy to do.

Thank you :) Happy to be able to put my shader knowledge to good use ❤️

A screenshot from Houdini where a ribbon of cloth is wrapped around a character's arm neatly

I installed Houdini

Why would you do that that's messed up

I hate cloth in blender I hate cloth in blender I hate cloth in blender I hate cloth in blender I h

Woke up yesterday wanting to try and simulate the cloth on the new top.

Then spent the entire day on getting one (1) ribbon simmed (poorly)

This battle is not over

My FFXIV themed entry for the "Dream Sequence" render challenge is finished. While brainstorming for ideas I stumbled upon the Dancing Green raid in FFXIV which features a soundtrack with a BPM of 120 and is also synced to the music. What a fitting fight for this, huh?
Nice challenge, was fun :)

daily reminder

Big win for all bnuuy-kind

A screenshot from Blender where a character's head has the beginnings of a very spiky hairstyle from in-game ffxiv, except remade with Blender's hair system. It looks much less silly than the earlier example.

now we're talking

A screenshot from blender where a character has a layer of hair seemingly tied back into a knot, like it's tightly running back along the scalp. At the back of the head is a singular, for lack of a better word, erect ponytail. A big spike of hair pointing straight out.

It's perfect actually I don't think I need to do anything else my work here is done

I've decided (against my better judgement because this never goes well) to put a massive delay on my next render because I want to give her fancy realistic hair

Wish me luck

Good name for it lmao
