SHADERS : Skin Shaders Community Workshop
Details
Skin shaders can really enhance a character and provide a stunning look. But what happens when you need to swap a skin texture to another character? What are the best resources for skin shaders? How can you adapt or edit a shader to fine tune how your character looks?
In this webinar recording of a community workshop we've brought together the collective minds of DAZ Studio artists to share valuable experience on skin shaders, textures and lighting skin. The workshop included sharing of artwork demonstrating how effective some of these shaders can be, given the proper lighting of course!
- 5 Tips for avoiding grainy/speckling portrait renders including postwork tips
- Discussion on skin art
- How to make darker skin tones look better
- Skin tones and color sets in images
