Kokoro, having fun lotioning and teasing to people at night.

--------------------------

This render took a lot of effort to get right. This is actually 12 (!) renders put together.

The most significant problems were the fireflies; they actually multiplied with more samples. Giving more bounces, clamping, raising HDRI importance resolution, filtering glossy materials and/or using Branched Path Tracing didn't make any effect (and in some cases, it crashed blender altogether without any apparent cause). So I had to come with a not-so-productive solution: Render the scene several times, with different seed for noise patterns, then mix them all with Photoshop to remove noise (Darken blend).

Then I noticed some of the custom normals had a small glitch in the chest area... And took me 5 more renders, and roughly two more hours to notice it was the subdivision modifier So I rendered it three more times, then mixed them again (using an alpha mask) with Photoshop.

--------------------------

All in all, this is the project info:

Rendered with Cycles in 8k @ 40 samples (x12).
Render time: ~72 mins. (6 mins average for every render).

Noise removal, downscaling to 4k and finishing procedures in Photoshop CS6.

Base model and bikini by

Pose, lighting, mesh editing, additional normals + specular, and other various stuff by

HDRI by HDRI Haven: hdrihaven.com/
