My main question is what techniques do you all use to create your bump and specular maps? Do you use Photoshop? What do you start with: a photo, or do you paint in every little pore yourself, or do you start with like a noise filter then modify it? Can you all post examples of your skin bumps and speculars? I am very new to realistic skin texturing and I just don't know how to go about starting my bump and specular maps. Oh also what colors should I use? Just shades of gray?

Thanks,

There is a thread going in the LW forum about skin texturing :)
It's not only LW stuff as well - it's actually general skin texturing stuff... I should probably move it here one of these days.

You'll have a hard time getting the good texturing artists to post decent shots of their textures though, as people tend to steal them...
