Baby Character Production

As I have previously mentioned, I will not be modelling the baby character. I was unable to find a baby rig that I was able to use therefore I had to download a model of a baby. I then applied a simple rig to the character so that I was able to animate it. The model did not come with textures and I have not previously textured a character. As I wanted the characters to look as realistic as possible, texturing was important. I searched for skin shaders and information concerning them, I discovered that Mental Ray has a skin preset that is of a good enough quality in my opinion. I did discover other methods however these appeared extremely complex and I do not think I have the time to explore this particular avenue. I applied the texture and then followed this tutorial as you have to play around with the attributes until you achieve the texture you want.

I am happy with this texture and am now ready to start animating.
