I love the results I've been having with EZSkin, but I'm curious how to incorporate wet skin via the EZSkin script.  Is it just a matter of adjusting the specular, or is there another trick?

Thanks, -Starkdog

I raised overall specularity and added a spec-map for the drops to the EZSkin.

Not bad.

JoePublic,

That looks awesome.  How and what did you add as a spec map for the drops?

Thanks, -Starkdog

The specularity droplet map is borrowed from SkinVue 8, but any seamless water drop map would do.

Or a procedual noise/spot shader.

It's connected to a second blinn node that is plugged into alternate specular.

The main blinn settings of the EZSkin shader were raised, too.

That effect looks superb JoePublic - most impressive!

Just a quick heads up: EZSkin 2.0 will feature some special skin effects, including wet, sweaty, foamy, oily and maybe muddy/dirty skin.

Unfortunately, EZSkin 2.0 is only #3 on my list of projects at the moment, so it's not imminent. I'll get there eventually though ...

I have no doubt it will be well worth the wait.
