![]() ![]() for example, i want the shadow in this case more blended out towards the eye, but harder towards the forehead and nose, so i use the eraser on that side. Then i use the eraser to shape the shadow/highlight further. it depends on how small or wide and blended you want it to be. i just play around with the radius until it’s blended out but still has some shape to it. Now you can either use the smudge tool to blend it out, but i prefer using “ filter” from the top bar, “ blur” > “ gaussian blur”. make sure to make a new layer for every shadow and highlight! ![]() draw the shape of the shadow or highlight where you want it. ![]() select the brush tool (B) and set the brush at about 0px with 100% opacity. 2.4 optionally: editing out freckles, pores and/or eyelashes.Īs you probably have noticed, everything needs to be done in greyscale, so select black (for shadows) or white (for highlights) in the top right colored box. it then looks like the above! this will very subtly let through details, if you want more you should make it more transparant. i also erase the upper eyelid 100%, cause i prefer to have eyelid freedom :p. i used the eraser on the lower cheeks, the nose bridge and tip and the bottom of the chin. the opacity of the brush i set to about 10% (3). I selected the eraser (2) and set the brush size to about 200px and 0% hardness. if you don’t have it, you can choose to edit only one side of the skin and mirror it later or do both sides and embrace some asymmetry. If you have photoshop 2022, turn on vertical symmetry (+). To change the opacity, you can either edit the entire layer’s opacity (1) or use the eraser tool ( E key) to add transparancy at specific parts. you can see the transparancy with the visibility of the grey-white blocks or if you find it easier you can also unhide the black background to see it instead. Hide all the layers aside from this base layer by clicking the eye icon next to the layer names. alpha skins tend to be fully opaque but maxis match skins are usually already transparant enough. To make ea’s preset details (cheek/nose bridge sharpness, dimples) come through your skinblend, you need to change the opacity of the base skin sometimes. if you’re sizing up select “ bicubic smoother (enlargement)” under resample (5). If you need to edit it, select “ pixels” from the dropdown menu (3), and put in 1024 for width and 2048 for height OR 2048 for width and 4096 for height. ![]() if it’s at the size you want it to be at, just exit the window. the bigger one will just make your fize unnecessarily large.Ĭlick “ image” at the top bar (2), then “ image size”. unless you want your skin to be compatible with the HQ mod, you should just opt for 1024x2048, as without the mod both resolutions look identical. Note: some skindetails might be 2048x4096, others may be 1024x2048. We have to layer them all in one file, but before we do that we have to check if they’re all the same size. you can left click and hold down your CTRL key to select multiple at once to open. Open your program of choice and click on “ file” from the top bar (1) and then “ open…” and navigate to the skin files. don’t be afraid to use the opposite style skins of what you’re going for, you can always add or erase details. if you like a part of a skin, write down which skin it is and what part(s) you want to use of it from which swatch if it has multiple.įor example, i almost always use one or two skins for just the nose shape, one for the eyebags, one to three for the lips and one for the basic shading of the face.
