you can get a decent skin texture by making a new layer, fill it with the base skin tone that you want to use. Then add a noise filter of about 7. (5 to 7). Then do another filter on the layer using gausian blur, at about 1 to 2. I'm not quite sure of the exact settings for each filter, as I don't have photoshop opened right now. Just experiment with those settings until you get a skin grain that you're happy with. Keep in mind, less is more. Don't overdo the detailing. You'd be surprised at what posers render engine can pick up from a texture map. And remember that bump maps add good texture to skin as well. You can make a bump map by making a grayscale copy of your body texture image, then invert the grayscale image and save it. That's how I do my bumps, but other people have various ways of doing theirs. Hope that helps. 8-) E.D. P.S: Don't forget to always use seperate layers when adding things like makeup and lips, brows, etc. In case you mess up, or want to change it, you can just delete the layer or turn it invisible. Once you're happy with something, then you can merge the layers to make the changes permenant. (but you should still keep major things like brows, skin details, etc, on seperate layers in a master .psd file). 8-)
