To sum it up quickly...photoshop. The yellowing is most important. Nobody has perfect white teeth. The more subtle flaws you can add, the more your brain accepts that it's real.

Damn, and I thought you had THE easy solution to get this achieved. I suspected that you implanted the teeth from a photo, but I had hoped that somebody just created a one fits all set of ivories to shove into the figure. Well then, back to the drawing board and thanks for letting me know.

There is ... FaceApp. Not the best, but it works

Thanks, I occacionally use FaceApp, but there is only one free smile and this is (sorry for the pun) widely used. In combination with Neural Filters in PS one gets some variation. However, the facial movement is only half the thing, a proper tooth shader would really be helpful (*waves madly at character designers*). Guess I'd gladly pay for some proper shaders.

Nevertheless her teeth look unreal real for a render. Stunning

I saw a video the other day about using FaceApp by rdaughter. I gave it a try last week and the results were very stunning. It is able to cut post time into a fraction of using Ps. Only issue is, the app seems to lower the quality of the image. I've started using it for my Comic series as those images don't need to be of any higher quality. Depending on the image, it can a very viable option.

Downloading it onto my PC was a chore though. lol

Gave up and just upload the image onto my mobile, use the app and send it back to my pc.

I downloaded MEmu and run it from there. Though, the program crashes all the time trying to load ads for me to watch while I'm working. Drives me crazy.

That's exactly why I process it on my mobile.

I was honestly pretty amazed at how well face app performed on the images. Other than the loss of quality and the watermark, it's pretty much the same as what I'm doing in Ps, just much much faster.

Thank you, she turned out pretty nicely

No morphs sadly.

Thanks

Thank you. She turned out fantastic. I can't tell she's not a real person and I created her. lol

I'm not going to call you a liar, but I'm tempted. She looks very convincing. It's your cousin, friend or someone, right? lol

lol, Thanks. I'll have to remember to screenshot the process next time to silence the skeptics.

Thank you. I had a friend back in High School who had a pair just like those. Thick white frames. They made her face (which was beautiful anyway) pop out of any crowd.

Lol, thanks. I've started playing with the Gen 9s but haven't posted anything from them yet.

Yeah, Daz just isn't there yet on smiles. Gen9 is a bit closer.

Thanks

I appreciate you saying so. Thank you.

Several others have said the same thing about the glasses. I knew a girl once back in high school that had blonde hair and thick white framed glasses. She always stood out of the crowd with those. To this day, I can't remember her name, but I can still see her glasses in my memory.

I can only imagine

Anyway, she was the inspiration behind the white framed glasses.

So when you use PS for your smiles, do you just correct the existing teeth? How do you get the natural smile lines?

I cheat. I use many images from iStock of smiling. I'll crop out the smile and mouth that I want and merge it with my image. Once in place it's just a matter of tone and color matching and blending. Smile lines come included. You can opt to use the smile editor within PS, but I feel my way is easier and I know what the smile will look like before I start.

So you're basically pasting a real smile on a 3D image...good idea.

Pretty much. Doesn't get more realistic than that.

Thank you, she was a beautiful model and fun to render.

Thank you, I'm glad you liked her. She's an older render, but turned out beautiful. I spent a few hours yellowing parts of her teeth in photoshop to give them that realistic look. Before you could just click a button and have AI do it all for you. Anyway, thanks for the kind comment.

Thank you. Jessica still remains one of my favorite renders for her smile. She was one of the first images I edited a smile with in PS and posted here to share. I'm glad you like her.

Oh, I know. Daz is the worst when it comes to teeth. I've only found a few figures with great, natural teeth, but even then, the facial structure won't allow for a natural/realistic smile. They put all that effort into the skin details for hyper realistic appearance, but forget characters smile. Sadly, we're left to photoshop overlays and blending to get it right. Or AI if you're feeling brave.

Thanks, they are real teeth. lol I just used PS to brush a real smile over the nasty Daz smile they give us for G8. Makes a world of difference. Plus I added a bit of yellowing around the tops of the teeth to reverse the model white teeth to make them look a bit more natural. Glad you liked how it turned out.

I will have to play around with that technique. Thanks for the share.

Of Course.

Thanks, glad she's still getting love after all these years.

A hand-edited smile layered into a personally rendered character is not remotely the same thing as prompting an image generator. One is post-production craftsmanship. The other is generation. Big difference.

Calling Photoshop compositing “AI generationis like calling a guitar pedal “Spotify.They’re not even the same stage of the process.

Thank you. She turned out really nice I though. Thanks for the comment... glad you like her.

Thank you.

Thank you. She turned out really well. Glad you like her.
