looking for skin alphas/textures

Hi folks,

someone mentioned that Rick Baker had posted some great alphas for skin texturing. If this is true can anyone point me to the post of they have it handy. I’ve been doing searches but my results are either way too broad or they don’t turn up anything.

Thanks…

Yeah i would like to know that too!! :slight_smile:

i can’t remember which thread they were in, but i remember seeing them. but speaking of alphas, has anyone tried the alphas from XYZ RGB? http://www.xyzrgb.com/maps/skins/index.html

they are apparently extracted from scan data so they are actual depthmaps. just wondering if anyone used them and if they’re worth purchasing

Rick posts under the name ‘MonsterMaker’ and the skin alphas are here:

The best choice for skin texturing is to use a good digital camera on an over cast day.
I did this in the past with older models and have been collecting a few new ones for some of the work I am starting. Approch anyone worth while. Explain what the photos will be used for and you will be surprised who helps.

Works good and no copywrite issues either.

Just to add, monstermakes alphas are on page 3 of the link above.
