@@artofjhill Hey ive got a question can i also do that with substance painter from steam, with in built texture and materials?? Or do i have to get external textures/ materials?
Finally someone came up with the real skin texturing process.. That really awesome. I wish there will be another part too for the whole body. Like how the skin texture will go for the rest of the body below neck with the same face color
@@chasingdaydreams2788 Basically, your skin has subtle color differences. Like purple under the eyelids, reds of the cheeks, blues or yellows around the mouth, etc. I recommend looking up references
so glad i'm looking at videos on people's methods for this, i would've never gone about making skin this way, i'd have done some stupid stacking of shit and struggled then failed thanks for this
It's because of videos like this one that people can say that nowadays you learn more on UA-cam than at school! Impressive one J, full of useful knowledge.
This has really broken the ice for me getting into texturing properly, as I had dabbled and had some quick and dirty workarounds, but I love this manual approach. And best thing is it feels like the layering process I would use in photoshop. And can confirm this process still works with my old substance painter 2017 version. Thanks a ton!
You are one hell of an inspiration for me. I'm going from Digital painting/drawing, and expanding my skills to 3D, and you are an awesome teacher! Subscribed, Sir!
@@artofjhill Sorry, that was the default comment. I love your videos for the quality and effort you put into them. I needed specifically what you show, and I couldn't find a way to approach it correctly, so your video has helped me tremendously. Thanks again, this time in English. Keep up the good work JH.
Just found your channel, this is amazing! Great mix of context, art history, hands on techniques and pro tips and your presence and presentation is phenomenal! Thank you!
I have so much respect for you, simply because you dont use xyz textures, but reference them and paint all the layers by hand. Brings a piece to a whole new level of quality
thanks for this very cool tutorial. Now I see all my mistakes in texturing realistic skin and I need to learn work in zbrush. Cause I know how modeling character but I can't sculpting the all this details in skin. Great work
Yah zBrush is a OpenGL software, like Maya. But Substance Painter is DirectX by default so people want to use external maps like from zBrush, best they start OpenGL. Substance do export in both format (OpenGL or DirectX). Like J said: it's only the Green channel that is flip. By the way, Unreal is DirectX too. So you need to choose ahead in each software you want to
I totally apologize, but I am going to hijack your comment section to make the part about painting the interior of the lips easier to find. You whole video is excellent, but this part in particular has been plaguing me for awhile in my own work. Thank you!! Painting the interior of the lips in UV mode: 43:19
tHANK YOU sir this is like the definitive guide to 3d character texturing. Just a minor request, as some has requested to, maybe a full body texture, tutorial or full body brush you can have for sale at artstation? that would be my dream!
Thank you so much for this tutorial man, you make such a complicated topic looks incredible easy, that's a trait of someone who really knows what is doing. Thank you for being this amazing artist and inspiring thousands of people just like me!!
When the video started in specular with grey surface, I already though "it does not even matter what type of albedo he paints, the specular looks so nice already" ;)
You make the best character tutorials, J. Seriously. They're really helping me get over the roadblocks I've hit trying to transition to character art (from motion graphics) so thank you. I'd love to see another video like this that covers dark skin tones. Any chance you'll walk through / talk through that in the future?
There's a lot of good information here, thanks!. Would you consider doing another one of these for darker skin tones? I have been searching for a tutorial for ages and haven't found a good skin painting tutorial for like African Skin, Hispanic, or Indian skin for some time.
This is an amazing tutorial and refresher for me. I might takes this a step further and paint a hypodermis map to really sell things like veins under skin and tattoos. I built a custom shader in Unity to use this and tint the base layer to an Orange colour. Again, awesome tutorial.
@@artofjhill I'm headed home now to try out this technique, which should be quicker than the method used by Madeline Spencer, which involved creating a base layer, spraying everywhere, and then spraying a base again. So much work
I'm just getting into the Zbrush + Substance workfrlow. Thanks for the very in depth tutorial, definitely dropping a follow. The one thing I would have done for this girl model you shown is add lighter skin tones around the hair line as everything under her hair would recieve less sun and tend to be lighter than the rest of her face. Her part seemed pretty tan as well as around her harline around her face. But great work either way.
Insane work man. Really beautiful. Can you make an afrodescendant woman with very dark skin and share other tips? If you already have just ignore it. I'm searching this kind of stuff right now.
@@artofjhill this is why you need to explain your micro actions, or have a visual for keypresses. I spent like 30 minutes looking for this answer confused.
Excellent as always. Quick question: in professional life, are you an concept level artist or do you also prepare models for production? And if the latter, I'd really love a toplogy/mouthbag making/rig prep tutorial from you, that's the part that I'm struggling most, no good courses for that around for some reason.
@@artofjhill Lol, no, I mean.. for example, why not to use just normal map stamps (brushes) of this skin pores.. maybe it could be generated in substance designer.. I just learning all this stuiff, so maybe it is not a reasonable solution, idk
Awesome work, J!
Thank you!
@@artofjhill Hey ive got a question can i also do that with substance painter from steam, with in built texture and materials?? Or do i have to get external textures/ materials?
@@GhostRider77726h there's no difference, those are very simple in built textures that you can find on a lot of websites.
Finally someone came up with the real skin texturing process.. That really awesome. I wish there will be another part too for the whole body. Like how the skin texture will go for the rest of the body below neck with the same face color
Another good reference for skin is subdermal color zones. I found adding those colors really brings so much more life to the peace.
What is subdermal color zones?
@@chasingdaydreams2788 Basically, your skin has subtle color differences. Like purple under the eyelids, reds of the cheeks, blues or yellows around the mouth, etc. I recommend looking up references
@@tytotech9498 so would this be done on a diffuse map or sss/translucency map?
@@chasingdaydreams2788 diffuse. just subtly painting on the colors. Like he does the purple under the eyes in here.
Man this is truly one of the best tutorials I've ever followed, thanks to you I kinda feel like I have textured faces my whole life !
J, you're the kind of artist to look up to. Thank you for these amazing tutorials you put out.
Finally, someone who opens the curtain to skin texturing!! Thank you J!!!
so glad i'm looking at videos on people's methods for this, i would've never gone about making skin this way, i'd have done some stupid stacking of shit and struggled then failed
thanks for this

thank you for telling people to save as soon as they start a project. so many of my art buddies fight me on saving right away
can never save too soon or too much
It’s criminal how few subs you’ve got. Your art/tuts are amazing!
Appreciate that
I'm amazed how I just found this right at the same time I gotta start texturing a character
awesome, I hope it helps out
He made it for you 😎

Thank you 👀
Thank you for your tutorial, I have a question
Do you have any tutorials on how to make a sss map?
This might be a dumb question, but are you not using UV maps?
I am. I started this model with my basemesh which has the UVs laid out
@@artofjhill ahh, I see. Thank you so much for the response!

I make production models. I don't understand what you're struggling with exactly
I'm really exciting keep going i will wait you
What if I use Blender and I can't make such a detailed relief on the skin? Is it possible to use some different method?
Yea, use ZBrush :p
