G8F shiny skin

I have noticed all of my g8f characters skin looks wet or oily is there a way to fix this

It is likely the lighting you use. Try different light sets.

With the advent of HDRI making an impact like it has now, the hdri lighting can "dry out" the look of skin alot, so character makers have to compensate and find a balance between different lighting systems. There is no perfect setup for all people, but we try.

Increasing roughness parameters (glossy roughness, top coat roughness...) will make any surface less shiny.

Thank you both I'll try both of those suggestions

Also G8 figures were introduced with Dual Lobe Specular Weight. Select Skin in surfaces for the figure. If it's over 0, it's being used.

Feel free to reduce it (all the way to 0 if necessary) if you want less shiny-ness. I like it though since it can make the render look more realistic.
