How does the Skin Compositor work?

The Skin Compositor allows you to customize your character's head and body albedo, introducing variations in skin tone and, for the head, skin details—such as freckles, moles, wrinkles, and sun damage spots, etc.

We provide a 2D LUT of physically-based skin tones, along with the option to automatically generate a LUT from a set of color samples—especially useful for creating non-human characters.

When appropriate (e.g., for wrinkles), these details are also applied to complementary texture maps, such as normal and roughness maps, ensuring a more realistic appearance.

See below for examples of skin tone and detail variations for the head.
