This is my latest venture into playing with sampled textures. This particular skin texture comes directly from the second image below. It's a snapshot of the top tube on my carbon composite mountain bike. The final skin texture has obviously gone through a lot of post production, but I more or less tried to convey and enhance the same surface quality on the avatar skin as I was able to capture in the original photograph. My biggest challenge was maintaining a consistent level of detail over most of the wrapped texture surface. The size of the texture had to be carefully chosen for a 2048x2048 master file, then reduced to 512x512 without much loss in detail. For that reason, I ended up blurring some detail off the ankles and sides of the neck in the master file in order to properly blend the seems in the texture wraps.   |

Well done!
Gotta love the shine effect on the final post-processed image.

A more metallic version

This version pops out more of the details, especially on the face. The difference is an extra reflective layer "linear" & "color" dodged into the master files.  . |
