in here, i still used the same model from my previous post...

now with the corrected (uniform) skin..
i only changed her footwear:

• it's a base model of Andy's Wedges (i believe it was originally meant for Victoria 4 models, so it didn't fit my Genesis 2 Female model correctly, and i had to increase the scale of the shoes a little so i can hide the overlapping skin)
• the skin is the Caucasian type by Atrion
• her height is approximately 5'11" (according to Daz Studio's website Genesis 3 Female stands 5'11", and i compared both Victoria 4 and Genesis 2 Female with her and all of them are almost of the same height - quite tall) 

(here's how the Real Woman texture looks like while still inside DAZ's user interface)

i still used the same default Headlamp for the lighting..
with no background..
this time, i increased the Maximum Render Time to 9,000 seconds (2:30 hours)..
and i chose to render it as a .png file (of course i won't share the actual file, but uncensored copies are in my DeviantArt account)...

this one took 2:11 hours to render..
and i only put a colored background to it using Adobe Photoshop...

based on the output, i already like the result..
there's no more white spot, and i don't know if having no background set or changing the format to .png did the trick..
she just needs a new hair and a sexier high heels, and she's good to go... ^_^

the same pose as the last one, but i rendered it using a different angle...

i don't know if i did something wrong..
i'm not sure if i still need to save the changes that i made to a scene, in order for that to take effect during rendering..

• but this one was supposed to have the Iray Optimized skin...

i set the Maximum Render Time back to 7,200 seconds (2:00 hours)..
and it finished rendering at 1:58 hours...

my last test render for that day..
the money shot, haha! :D

• now this one was supposed to have the Real Woman skin..

but still, it didn't seem to work...

it took 1:53:20 hours to render...

i'm still confused because all the results of my latest experiment seem to have the same skintone (as you can see in this comparative side-to-side view)... :(

anyway..
next time, i'll be working on a different pose..
i'll try saving the files before rendering them, to see if the skin will change then..
and i'll probably try some basic lighting as well...
