Skin tones and Hair shader

[Stroker]

As far as skin tones go, just grab a photo and use the EyeDropper / ColourPicker do-hickey.

Here are some tips that you may find useful:

As far as a skin shader goes, best bet is to take the time to paint several different maps. Leigh has got a pretty example of painting several maps somewhere on her site (http://leigh.cgcommunity.com/making_of_orc_head.htm). Or maybe you can get away with just a colour map cANt style (http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56847).

thanks. I've done the eyedrop tool thing with a pic. Maybe I'm just being too hard on my choice of skin tones. *shrug*

Too hard on your skin choice? Just relax and don't be afraid to be a little sloppy. You just might surprise yourself.

Now, I've never done hair before. Figgered it's about time I give it a go. I started with a quick Brushed Aluminum technique as a base. Then I modified it as needed for various maps. Save 'em out, slap 'em on, and render. About 30 minutes worth of messing around.
