I can't wait to try this technique. I'm working on a "real person" project (P4 woman) and the photo I'm using doesn't enlarge well. I've had to retouch a lot. I think this'll give me a nice realistic skin texture rather that the "painted" on skin. I've also found that using a facial bump map improves the "validity" of the texture (i.e., lines under the eyes, at the mouth ends, and forehead). Thanks again "Sith Lord" for sharing your "quick" technique with us all!
