Skin textures in real life usually have a touch of sheen, but you can go to far. Setting the Sepcular Color to a very dark gray and the highlight size to .1 gives a very soft, natural looking sheen. In P5, you can also link the translucent node back to the texture with a love value to get a softer effect on the skin. Big light sets can be nice for some things, but sometimes fewer is better. A single spot can give beautiful effect. There is no undo on a delete, so make d*mn sure you REALLY have what you want to delete selected before you confirm the delete. A number of transmapped hair props are designed with a square flat mat. Try other maps of the same type of different hair. Example: B-Man's hair is a great model but only has 1 dark texture. But using a Koshini hair map with it's the b-man transmap gives nice variation.
