I forgot to mention -
I've shown techniques for procedural skin, but you cannot find a single thread in which I've suggested it was better than using an image. Clearly, image-based skin patterns are superior.
But - compare any texture using a basic common no-node Poser material, versus the same texture with my VSS skin shader. They're completely different, and argue whatever you like, I know which one is better. Even if you don't want realism, but art, I know which one is better. Or use my Vargas shader with the same texture, and you get airbrushed style "art". Or my toon shader. Pick whatever style you want, but the texture BY ITSELF is going to look like shit and is not art.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
