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 community workshop, Skin Workshop Tutorial, we brought together the collective minds of Daz Studio artists to share valuable experiences on skin materials and shaders.

We looked at:

• Placing different skins on other characters
• Working with different skins on characters that have been morphed
• Older and younger skin properties discussion
• Darkening skin tones using post-work
• LIE layers
• Fantasy skins product (V3Digitimes): discussion and artwork
• A look at Skin Manager (V3Digitimes)
• The Dolb character and the HD skin utilized on other characters
• Close up renders of skin
• Iray wet look for skin and the settings
• Shader preset save options
