Would be interesting to see what she looks like without them

I tried it without brows. Also without eyelashes and without make-up. Without human skin even. If you remove all that, you end up with an ordinary robot. That's not what I'm trying to achieve here. I'm trying to keep a balance between the cold, unpersonal 'technology' and the natural, living 'emotionality'.
So... sorry if you don't like brows, but they are essential to keep that balance.

I think I find it slightly creepy because ot eh size of the head, it has this human face and this human form, but the back of the head seems so tiny like the face is just attached on to who knows what. It's a pretty cool effect. I love the voice box speaker thingi in the throat, nice touch. And the shiny reflective metal! I'm going to hazard a guess of carpark for the reflection map, but wouldn't have a clue really 
How and where have you been anyway? Life still busy?

I see what you mean with the back of the head being small. It's like it is more the contents of the head (like the brain) rather than being the back of the skull. Actually this was not really intended. Looking at it in retrospect I should have made it a bit bigger, I guess.
I don't even now what the reflection map is. I just used a cool looking one from my library of reflection maps which comes with 3D-stuff I have bought.
In fact if you just use the standard textures and shaders that come with Daz-props the shading looks pretty dull. I always have to change a ton of settings to get it render cool reflections and shading.
I'm OK, I guess. Have had a pretty un-creative couple of months/years, but I don't want to bore you with the details.
Nice to hear from you!

Depends on the look you were going for I guess. There's nothing wrong with it, it just looks "open" now if that makes any sense
Does the reflection map not come with an image to do the mapping with? I'll have to brush up, it's been a very long time since I did texturing with images.
Well whatever you're doing, it's giving good results
I don't mind listening if you feel like talking. Hope everything gets better for you

In Daz Studio, you have an image for the texture and you have a seperate image for the reflection (the reflection map). Because most of the time the overall look&feel doesn't look too good, I tend to replace one or the other (or both). Also there are a lot of settings (reflection, refraction, glossiness, specular color and strength, bump,...) so I tend to change all that until I have the look I want.

Yeh that's how I remember doing it.
Think all your edits are what makes your stuff looks good
