This is the final shading I'm going to use for this animation. Obviously all the imperfection with the cloth sim need to be sorted out...etc...this is just a rush job so I could play about with how things look.
Today was a day of doing stuff that bore no significant progress, but needed to be done for things in the future, such as setting everything up for facial animation, which takes ages...and linking all the controls....but I did do a quick and messy walk cycle as a test.
