How can I get my poser skin to look more realitic? I know about bump maps and how they are used but I'm not sure where to find them for skin textures. Any suggestions on places to look? I don't think I'm up to making one on my own yet, lol. Much thanks for any help. :)

A lot depends on what character you want it for - I got an incredible set (Bump & Grind) of bmp maps over at RDNA for several characters. Some of the Textures in the market place here come with BMP maps also. Have you tried doing a search in FreeStuff here, may be some there..... ..Just checked, using "bump" there's 138 matches - Several skin bumps in the first few pages. Cheers!

Skin is Skin. Try these for skin bumps and textures. Scan or photograph: Leather Orange Peal Poser4 bump makes for better if you simply convert your greyscale image to BITMAP and rename the extention like a bumpmap. If you convery the greyscale using Poser4 it does something to the colors that they got rid of in ProPack. Anton anton@daz3d.com

I meant Poser 4 bump maps render better...:)

Hi, Anton! Yes, there is an inverted channel problem which MartinC pointed out. Anybody with PhotoShop can fix it by hand, but it is a nuisance depending upon how complicated the mapping. For something as randomized as skin, the shouldn't be noticed much. For patterned objects like fabric or machinery, it is rather obvious.

little joke...or not: sometimes i look into the mirror early morning and say to my self: "this was the wrong bumpmap" :O))webvogel
