Quote - > Quote - Thank you as to skin resources I have a couple for V4 and Jessi G2 I know V4 is the reigning queen in character creations but had considered working on items and a character form someone other than V4. I appreciate the link you posted and will review in hopes that it answers my questions as to how to set up the new skin resources and then work on customizing my character from there.
Many skin resources also come in PSD layers with different eye shadows and lipstick etc on different layers. The most important thing when using them is to set your document to the correct size. It should say in the ReadMe for the MR what size they were created for. In this case you would set up a document in the correct size in Photoshop and then drag and drop the layers from the merchant resource onto your new document. I'm sure there used to be tutorials for this but I can't seem to find any at the moment.
You may also wish to mix techniques buy using the first tutorial for the base skin if your merchant resource consists of a collection of photographs and then add the makeup layers by dragging and dropping the merchant resource layers on to the base skin.
Have fun experimenting. :)
