Using Custom Skin Texture

In the Basic Modification for Head Texture section, only the sliders are adjusted to do the basic and easy texture editing. However, you may also do the modification with advanced methods by replacing the texture or modify the texture in an external image editor.

Getting UV Reference Map for Creating Texture

Before creating a custom texture, you need to know the UV deployment of the head. By exporting the UV map, you can easily find the reference for editing or creating texture correctly.

  1. Make sure the character is selected.
  2. Click on the Material tab in the Modify panel.
  3. Select the Skin_Head material from the material list.
  4. Click the UV button under the channels in the Texture Settings section.
  5. The UV map of the selected material will be exported to your favorite image editor (in this case, Photoshop).
  6. You may then use the image as reference for creating your custom texture.
