Oiled shiny skin

sheedee3D

Howdy;

I am trying to achieve an oily skin look for my V4 and Genesis female characters...i have been fiddling with the specular and glossines parameters in the surfaces tab trying to alter the skin settings...but up to now i am not really achieving the look that i really want.
I am aiming for a deep oily look on the skin similar to when girls go to the beach and they are all tanned up.

Like the look on Angelinas face...but then for the whole body. Is there a script some where or a tutorial that can help me achieve this?...

Thanks and have a nice day.

I haven't tried myself but reflection together with subsurface would be what I would try

You might want to have a look at wet skin shaders that may provide the look you are wanting. There are several paid and free versions around. Here is a free one:

It has several options, including just a wet skin option. At the very least it may provide some insight into the settings you should be looking at.

Just change the specular to 100% strength and colour: white, then reduce the glossiness to around 97%.

If you want the shiny patches larger, then reduce the glossiness a bit more.

(don't forget to put in a light!) :-)

Nice and simple! This forum should have a thumbs-up button for helpful posts like this. ;)
