Well misha - making a new character is of course more than simply changes the texture ... the most changes will be made by morphs - then hair and some clothes also - textures are a very simple way to change the appearance of someones color but you can't make an african character by simply switching to a darker texture ... examples on what is possible with textures can be found at http://site.yahoo.com/happyworldland/ (however - site is down at the moment) at least it depends on some poses how a person will appear to you ... you can find many of them on my site ...
