User Interface for Expression Wrinkles System (New for v. 4.2)

Expression wrinkles in Character Creator are materialized with diffuse, normal, and roughness textures. The wrinkle patterns can help accentuate the deep crevices and furrows in the muscles and skin of the face.

ClosedA. Activate / Deactivate / Update Wrinkle Texture Color / Remove Wrinkles
  • Activate / Deactivate: Applies generic and default wrinkle lines to the character.
  • Update Wrinkle Texture Color: Recalculate the color of the wrinkle textures to the color tone of the facial skin texture.
  • Remove Wrinkles: Removes all wrinkle textures and settings off the character.
ClosedB. Overall Influence

Alters the strength of the entire wrinkle effect on the face.

ClosedC. Wrinkle Regions

The dummy face is divided into different regions for you to designate different wrinkle settings for different portions. Different strength levels for the wrinkles can even give personality to the character.

When you select the area on the dummy face, activate this checkbox to automatically apply specific facial expressions so that localized wrinkles can emerge.
