Give this new layer a slight Gaussian blur (choose Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur) so that the texture blends with the skin. See Figure 7.88. Figure 7.88 Apply a Gaussian blur to blend the texture 6. Inspect the entire image and, if necessary, use your Clone Stamp tool to assist you in cleaning up any areas of the image. Do this on the transparent layer that sits above all of the other layers that you have worked on but below the eyebrow layer. Make sure that in the Options bar, you have Use All Layers selected. The sampling will then use any visible layer underneath to be painted on the blank transparent layer that you have currently activated. Call this layer “retouch” to keep things organized. Next, duplicate the skin layer and place it on top of the retouch layer. Change its blend mode to Color. This will add tint to the imagery with a domi- nating color on the skin layer. You had a few highlights that were still fairly bright. By adding the skin layer and changing the blend mode to Color, you were able to create a more consistent color throughout the entire image. See Figure 7.89. 7. Let’s give the image a little more of a pinkish look so that when you apply the map to the 3D character, it won’t appear jaundiced. Apply a Color Balance adjustment layer and add a little red to the entire image, as shown in Figure 7.90.

That’s it for the color map. Save this onto your hard drive in JPEG format as head- UV-map-5.jpg. Import the new UV map into Poser and place it onto the face of the James or Simon G2 figures. Do a render to get a look at the final results. See Figure 7.91. Figure 7.91 Save the result as a JPEG image and apply it to the James or Simon G2 figure in PoserCreating the Bump and Diffuse MapsThe color map that you created in the last section does make the model look quite hand-some. But to enhance the life-like appearance, you need to add some sort of texture thatwill give the character life. The bump map will add a raised texture that gives the modelmore detail. The diffuse map will accentuate depth through its ability to absorb light,which will add contour to the figure. 1. Open the head-UV-map-5.jpg texture map that you just finished saving in the pre- vious exercise in Photoshop. Desaturate the image (Ctrl+Shift+U/Command+ Shift+U) and go to the filter gallery (choose Filters > Filter Gallery). Apply the Reticulation filter, as shown in Figure 7.92.

Save this image back to your hard drive and apply it as a bump map onto your Poser character. Figure 7.93 shows the final view of the bump map applied and Figure 7.94 shows the settings that you will use to apply this texture.
