I cant belief I missed this tread until now. Some great stuff here. Face_off: The best skin I have ever seen from Poser. Any changes to get a closer look on this shader? I would love to play around with it. I will use your explanations to build my own version, but I would be nice to see the settings you used. Spanky: You got very good results with this shader, if gives a softer look. A bit less realistic, but very pleasing effect. What is the reason to connect the skin shader to the specular value?
