About This File

This is a culmination of my work to attempt to add some level of accurate anatomy to the skin textures of various characters. Since FS recently uploaded his own edit of the Handmaiden's underwear model, I was tasked with editing a reskin of the Vanilla model I had previously been working on.
This is that texture...

 

Note: It is in fact derived from the Vanilla texture, except it was designed around Fairstride's aforementioned Handmaiden Fit and Athletic mod, and so would probably look best with it.

 

-Technical Information:
This texture uses my new technique of "adding" skin pores by overlaying some edited noise and using a few soft brushes to create the illusion of subsurface scattering.
I had originally envisioned using an alpha layer to imitate light reflecting off of its surface, but it ended up looking a bit too metallic,
and seemed to detract from the cleaner look you get in Vanilla. I still plan to try this out in subsequent builds, but right now this version looks the most appropriate to me.

 

If there are alterations or changes you'd prefer, I would be more than happy to oblige.

That is pretty darn good actually. It sure is a helluva lot better then the original. More subtle details as there should be.

Good work! Awesome!

 

Any plans to do the other female characters, including the female player versions, in the future?

I am so glad to hear you like it. :) I was wavering as to whether it was too subtle or if it looked good enough to release.

 

I am indeed planning to release more skin detail mods like this for a variety of the characters. I did a small one for Mira, but with this newfound anatomical knowledge I might add my own "twist" to her design.

 

Ultimately, I want to give all of the "underwear" character variations this same level of anatomy and skin realism, but starting out, I need some proofs of concept.

Oh it's good enough alright, IMO it's a vast improvement to vanilla original. I mean I can make out the detail of the body indentions, along with the faint muscle and bone impressions you put on that texture for the model. It rocks, man! I really hope you do more. ; )

 

But hey, if you would like to know what could be improved upon just a little, just to make it all really pop - The only thing I can see that could be improved upon is the outline shading of the shoulder blades. It seems to me they're just a little too flat looking on the model and maybe a little more subtle depth in shading, but less darker, may help with those shoulder blade lines, if you know what I mean? As a matter of fact, what you did for the chest area is a perfect example.

 

But oh man...other than that, I think you've pretty much got it down pat.
