What is the best female (Victoria or Stephanie) dark color skin texture? Thank you!

Ebony and Ivory is a nice package....found in the MP here....Steve

Thank you!

for Vickie and for Michael AND Stephanie are some I've made. They're in the FREE Stuff area here ;o)

Check Marjorie in my store here.

Dalinise has the Brown Sugar Package out in MP. Really nice

Eowyn's Shari is a great package as well. There was a free version and there is the greatly updated version in the MP.

I'm a big fan of Sheba, by Deecey (http://www.renderosity.com/softgood.ez?ViewSoftgood=669) It has two shades, light and dark, and I use it for all my women of color, because I have yet to find one I like better. Lynn Grant Castle Development Group

Dalinise's Brown Sugar is probably the most realistic African tex set I've seen.

Depends what you look for in a texture, really. The best free one out there is Eowyn's Shari. She's gorgeous! I love Ebony and Ivory by Dalinise and Stormi - great, hi-res textures that don't look like photographs but are still realistic. If it's photorealism you want, Dalinise's Brown Sugar is beautiful. Dalinise's Imana is also gorgeous, but I've found that one difficult to light in Poser because she's very dark.

My Shari character can be downloaded for free at The Attic - she comes with textures, character morph and some poses :) The updated, somewhat more realistic version of her with plenty of extras is a commercial item and can be found... oops I don't think I'm allowed to say it in this form :p

I really like Dionne (for Stephanie) by Pierian Piaffe in Rosity freestuff

Spanki: She is gorgeous! Who is she and how can I find her? Is she in the MP? What the forum think about Christy by Spectre3 and Kendra by Handspan Studios? By the way, thank you a lot for the responses. All the models mentioned and showed here are wonderful.

Also I want to ask for the best realistic hair for dark color characters. Thank you!

Thanks... the body and head morphs were created using standard Vicky II dials, the hair is Daz's Flip hair with my own texture (based on some by Kozaburo) and the skin texture used is from my Carmen character (marketplace). I darkened the skin using material settings... as eirian mentions, it depends on what you're looking for in a texture. Since I simply darkened the skin using material settings, the palms and soles of the feet are not as you'd expect, but that wasn't important for the render I did.

Thank you. I am going to look for Carmen right now....

Carmen's morphs are quite different, but if you want, I'll put together those morphs and material settings for you. You can try dark material settings with other textures, but it kinda depends on the original texture as to how well it will look.

Karol, both for Possette and Vickie is the best African/female texture I have ever used. FInd it in the archives, I'm sure its still there.
