>>20456 Yeah, technically this is post processing. But it doesn't take more than a few seconds to insert a smaller render into the bigger one. And I did it exactly because I could not find any camera position that would show the tearing of the nail and her face. Either the pliers or the guys hand or arm always gets in the way or because of perspective they become so big that the textures get blurred.

And yeah, expressions of pain are always a problem, especially with a gag and if you don't want to distort the face of a 3d-character so much that it becomes grotesque and ugly. I personally find the latter very unsexy so I tend to have less expression.

And the gag of course is absolutely necessary. Just think of poor Malcolm's eardrums! A guy his age has to be careful with his hearing. ;)
