I'm sorry I can't reveal too much, as it involves a lot of specialized knowledge in the art field. Even within the industry, professionals rarely share this kind of foundational, personal understanding of art with each other. What I can disclose is that achieving this level of realism requires significant effort in post-processing aspects like lens simulation, color grading, and simulated indirect lighting. Ultimately, it's the combination with a community plugin like the Hunting-Succubus subsurface scattering shader that produces this effect. You could even simplistically think of it as the complete version of the post-processing found in BDO(the original game made significant compromises for performance reasons).
As for the character work, I've actually been sharing in the community some of my past artistic optimizations aimed at addressing the visual shortcomings of VAM characters. For instance, things like the Fake Refraction Shell and Primary Specular are actually very core components, but it seems not many people recognize their significance. Ironically, the one I value the least—Perfect Eyelashes—turned out to be the most popular, haha… VAM's own architecture isn't necessarily perfect. I almost completely ignore features like VAM's default skybox-based global specular reflections, or only occasionally compromise by turning them on temporarily to provide some basic—if unsatisfying—metallic specular effects for clothing. To create good-looking character results in VAM, you can't rely solely on the scene's direct lighting. Rasterized rendering has always been about "faking it." It's also important for users to choose a suitable skybox lighting for their specific scene and control its intensity appropriately.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. I wanted to go for a more natural and grounded look with this one. Glad you liked it!
