Description

Perfect Skin is a Poser Python script for easy creating enhanced shaders for human figures to produce very realistic renders. While gaining remarkable improvements, the shaders are kept simple enough to render quickly. Also, it's not required to adjust the shaders to changing scene conditions like lighting.

First of all, the script is intended to improve material sets without complex shaders, preferably with diffuse maps only and optionally with bump maps. Still, the result will depend on the quality of the used texture maps. Perfect Skin improves all ethnic types of skin colors and works particularly well for colored people.

The script has many options to enhance the skin material. It can add small spots and freckles to the skin and lipstick to the lips. The skin becomes more natural by setting the correct surface properties like highlights and natural unevenness, with special bump maps for the lips and nipples. All options can be activated seperately and configured with simple sliders to control the amount of each effect.

In addition, the materials for the nails, the inner mouth with teeth and tongue, and the eyes can be improved. The nails can be left natural or changed to polished. For the inner mouth, a wet look and the correct rough surface is set. The eyes are improved by real and/or faked reflections.

For ease of use, the script remembers the last used setting and may be kept running while working in Poser, e.g. to do test renders. Also, you can save and load your own presets of favourite settings. The script supports the most common figure types and recognized them automatically.
