Creating Realistic Skin
A videotorial demonstrating the power and flexibility of finalRender Stage-1 R2's fastSkin shader. The techniques demonstrated here can be very easily applied to any other renderer or shader, since all is explained in a sense of „why“ not „how“.

Basic head rigging part 2
As a follow up to my training DVD series „Portrait of a girl“ I created a videotutorial on how to rig this character in the most simplistic way so that everyone can pose their characters and add some simple facial expressions. You'll learn where to place bones in the neck and head area as well as adding a jaw and, for the more advanced beginners, I added a couple of eyelid controls as well as some skin morphing and wrapping. This is part 2 of 2 in total.

finalRender Stage-1 R2 RE Tab
Render Elements are a very important part when it comes to complex shot compositing as they allow you to break-apart the entire image into individual Elements which can be then individually manipulated and composed in a compositing package, such as Fusion or After Effects, for greater flexibility and control.
