First, I'd like to correct a mis-credit: I was referring to BEBOP's Emily and Cristy textures above (Does PhilC do Characters??? I'll have to do a search... His clothes are great, though!!) Just zipping a greyscale Eyecolor jpg of 3000x3000 (8.5 Megs) gives me a 58k ZipFile (Jpeg compression at Max quality) 1 Increase colordepth to 16M colors 2 Magic wand the iris with the right sensitivity 3 colorize the selection to your heart's content That''s how I get Olive/Brown/Ice/Green characters with Bebop's Emily. Now all you need is a decent looking texture that would resemble a transmap for the Eyebrows, another for various Pubic Hair styles (Heart/Triangle/natural/etc) as your storage/bandwidth allows, and Voila! Cut&Paste the colorized Hair as a new Layer, set the merge settings accordingly (if necessary) and you can get MANY distinctive skins out of one main texture. It's not as easy as my orginal method of a greyscale/filtered skin, but it'll certainly look better tan anything I can do by my own efforts. I also do the Greyscale/colorselect on Kozaburo's Hair textures... I'd GLADLY pay a few dollars for a "collection" of these 'styles' and do my own colorizing for the final effect... The artist might get more mileage out of a characterTex, as well....
