I have never attempted creating my own. I don't think I actually am a good enough artist for that. I did check out a couple of tutorials today, it looked pretty tough. I have gimp and a cheap old tablet so not sure how feasible it is. It might be easier since I don't care if the skin is super realistic?

I went through something like 800 pages of the free stuff here and did find lots of goodies for V3 and V4. Huge thank yous to all the freebie folks out there, my runtime would be empty without ya!! Not a whole lot for M3 on either here or sharecg but maybe I need to change what I put in the search engine. For RMP I had a bit better luck by using 'for M3' rather than just Michael 3 or M3. I don't mind buying a few things for M3 (I just never did get around to it, what I did spend I spent on pretties for V3, lol) but the less I spend now the sooner I'll have the morphs++ for M4. There are so many cool looking characters in the shops for him now.

Poser 7 can use shaders so I was sort of hoping that might be some sort of option but so far searching for skin shaders has turned up nada. I found one packet of skin shaders for Cararra on daz3d - I don't know if those are useful for poser or not? My understanding of shaders is nil so far since I haven't really had poser 7 very long so maybe it doesn't work that way...
