Vi was a pretty nice challenge to do in a short time, since it has a ton of different materials and lots of closeUp shots, which translates to the need to have a good number of UDIMs to deal with. One aesthetical rule i was following was to have some gradients over all materials to make them vary from bottom to top, with some toning that makes all the different tones blend better. At the same time this technique helps bring attention to her head and balance the flow of colours and values over the character. I made that creating PassThough layer in Painter, that controls tone and levels over all materials using the Position Map information.
