Where to get realistic human skin textures/maps?

DefaultName

I'm looking for more photorealistic skins on my figures, and saw a site some time ago that sold maps of people, that was quite detailed, but I forgot it.

I'm looking for faces, torsos, all the skin. Kind of like this site https://texturing.xyz/ but hopefully more affordable and includes all the skin

3d [dot] sk is 'the' site for many. Thankfully they now also sell temporarily some skin products at other sites such as ArtStation, RenderHub, etc.

Oh cool, I can only see face maps so far, but I'll keep looking

There's a lot to dig through. Do they have complete maps to go with the face textures, like arm and leg textures that I can set into Daz3D?

Yes, look for the skin sets. These are photos, not on templates.

There are also photos at Renderosity, by Levius. I believe that is the person behind 3dsk.

Cool, those do have a good level of detail. I had seen a site one time, a couple of years ago, that formatted the skin into the image styles that Daz uses for it's image maps. Like for example, I can't just take these arms pictures here and plug them into the base color under the shader tab, but I had seen a site that did offer the skin formatted that way, I know it's confusing >.<

these are intended for PAs to create the textures in the format that DS can read. basically you take the UV layout for each part of the DAZ figure and then peice together the various parts in an image editor or app like Sustance painter to create the whole texture for a DAZ character. Not easy and a bit of work.

Ahh, now I understand. So I just need to find a vendor who's already done that. Like I said, I did find one such vendor a while ago, but can't remember them. If anyone has suggestions for this kind of thing, I'm all ears :)

It's a good bet that most PAs that are not using merchant resources are using this method for products already in the store.

Yeah, I guess I may just have to get lucky again. It was a vendor/site that had pictures of the models, but also converted to Daz maps, I believe you got all of them per package. Bummer.
