How do I add a flesh texture to an object?
in The Commons
Hello,
In preparation for Halloween image contests, I'm trying to step up my horror game by creating some suitably creepy living furniture. But when I try to copy the skin from a figure and paste on to an object, it doesn't cover it completely and leaves blank gaps. Is there a better way of doing things?
Thanks.

you need a skin shader not a texture
the skins for figures have texture maps baked to the UV's of that figure, you need a seamless square map of skin
For Iray, you could check out my free shaders. There are a few procedural skin shaders; they aren't perfect for a lifelike person, but for a skinlike chair? Great. ;)
I was going to suggest your Shaders, Tim :)
I think it was the 2nd set that has a nice creepy organic shader
Yeah, no need to get anything but the last one, linked in sig. It has everything.
I really need to get that downloaded sometime
It can be a little confusing, until you learn to filter a lot and figure out which terms are usually used (generally 'noise' and 'tiling'), but I'm usually around for questions. ;)
