Why do they do this?  Is there a benefit to using ALT_DIFFUSE?  Seems like this happens after EZSkin is applied as well...

 

Diffuse and specular give you just those things.  So if I plug another node into a diffuse, it'll be diffusified.  The Alt channels are place holders.

If all you want is plain diffuse, then difuse is fine.  If you want to add SSS or something like that, it isn't.

WARK!
