Quote - You don't need matmatic to build a skin shader. Just load the one I posted. There's a big difference between parameter tweaking and actually designing a shader.

You mostly just need to tweak. The time to build a shader different from mine is when you want to do a mask-and-blend effect.

This is true. I certainly don't use it as BB intended: to allow math and Python to create shaders. My approach is more about automation. That in itself makes the whole thing worth learning.
