Skin builder 8 settings
I've recently bought skin builder 8 for genesis 8, but I'm at a loss how to use it. I don't exactly know what the light, pale and medium texture values indicate, nor how high the skin translucency weight should be to get a realistic result.
When I change these values the skin colour is updated in an Iray preview. When I'm happy with the skin colour, I proceed to add blotches and freckles. I finally click on 'create skin', but in the viewport (NVDIA Iray Drawstyle) the skin is very greyish and there is no sign of freckles. It doesn' t have the slightest resemblence to what I had intended it to look like, so I'm obviously doing something wrong. Can anybody explain how to create a good looking skin and how to load it onto the figure?

Have you seen the user guide? it is located in /People/Genesis 8 Female/Materials/Skin Builder 8/Resources/Skin Builder 8 UserGuide.pdf
Yes I've read the user guide. It doesn't mention anything about the specific settings for skin builder 8. I'm just changing the medium texture and skin translucency weight values at random really. It would be of great help if someone could explain what these values indicate.
And I still don't understand why I can't see any freckles on the skin of my character when I selected the freckle option in skin builder. Besides, her eyes remain blue, whereas I had changed them to brown. Isn't the skin supposed to automatically load onto the figure after I click 'build skin'?
