Quote - - Real bump maps (not just the SkinMap.jpg renamed to SkinMap_B.jpg etc.)
- If possible with a license to alter the maps and redistribute them
These two things are not compatible. Since the bump map is almost always done as a manipulation of the color map, if you change the color map, the bump map is no longer valid - although it is normal for merchant resource texture packs to include both, if you substantially modify the color map then the bump map becomes junk (assuming it made any sense in the first place)
Quote - - Photoshop layers (especially the eyebrows as an extra layer)
- No baked in specular (or at least specular as an extra layer in Photoshop)
- Frekles and skin imperfections also not baked in but as an extra layer
Never seen any of those three features in a texture merchant resource kit that I can recall (meaning, all have eyebrows painted in; none attempt very much to remove specularity from the photo original; freckles are always part of the base texture).
