Quote - Also be aware, many authors are now using material room nodes to enhance the quality and realism of their skin textures.  It will be worth your time to study how material room nodes work and how to use them texturing.

This is true.  I use the material room nodes a lot to control the realism.  The first thing, though, is to learn how to put a texture together.
