Right so not sure if this is the right forum, but I'm using Daz so i figure i gotta be close.

No matter what I do, i can't get faces to come out real-ish.  I am using Liquid rust's Brooke 2.0 shaders and skin, and i use the LOD thing, and the skin of the entire body comes out awesome and looks totally real, but the face looks glossed over and well like a mannequin.  I have even been into the surfaces tab and made sure that everything is the same all around and it is... sigh  Ideas?  Thanks in advance.

Hello! I am by no means an expert, but, sometimes if you turn the strength down under specular in the surfaces tab it will take away some of that shine. Sometimes to if the character has on make-up, you'll have to adjust the face differently that the rest of the body. Hope it helps!

I´ve had the same problem... are you using Poser?

Try toning down the specularity just a little bit and raise the bump.
The face texture usually is smaller than the body texture and the "bumps" come out smaller as well.
Which fits the smaller pores, but in the end they barely have any effect at all.

turn glossiness AND specular strength up to full. whenever i do that (In DAZ) that removes any and all shine.

could you give a close-up of the face? that might help to see what the problem might really be a opposed to everyone just guessing.

So i have been messing with the glossiness/specular/bump/and displacement for the last DAY, 8 hours of rendering, just to figure this problem out haha i am getting some results though, i am finally getting some texture in the face, though it was a little too much, but at least im getting closer

edit I am having trouble gettings the face pics to upload, not sure why, but i will try again tomorrow... er... rather... when i wake up.  Thanks again to everyone thats helping me out, i really appreciate it

 I get that glossiness in some textures at times.  The first thing to do is to be sure you have the bump maps on, a little irregularity always helps.  But, the real trick here is to select all of the skin areas (the ones you don't want shiny, that is) and scroll all the way down to the bottom of the surfaces tab.  Change the "lighting model" to "Skin"  (the default is "Plastic").

I find that clears it right up.
