Quote - It's a shader from VSS.

To make darker skin, change the PMC:Tint color to a darker color. Try different colors, not just shades of gray. You can make the skin tone be very different without changing the color map at all.

it's easier if you actually use VSS, because then you only have to change it in one place. If you don't use VSS, you have to edit the node parameters in each skin zone to match.

I don't doubt that it's easier to use VSS bb - once it's setup. But I just can't see my feeble little brain figuring all that out from the start ;o). It took nearly all I could manage just to get a decent rose petal...lol.

I ya don't mind, I'll borrow that setup then to set up this new texture?
