Re: Gina (critique welcome)
A detour or not, depending on how you look at it. I was trying to understand eye refraction. After finding some examples, attempted to recreate the effect... and it sort of looked correct. There was just that one issue I spent a good deal of forever chasing down. The whole thing distorts depending on whether you look along… -

Ok, so after I gave up, it occurred to me that I was converting the refracted vector into the wrong space all along.

Re: Gina (critique welcome)
I think I was wrong. I'm convinced that my current retopo is a failure and it would be better to redo from scratch now, then keep trying to "fix" it. Should've started with higher density and worked from there. It seems harder to increase, than the other way around. In this particular work, it's probably better to do it…
