Tutorial realistic skin for 3d models

[Jacob3D]

Is this same skin texture method possible in Blender alone???

I know this is a 2 year old thread, but I would like to know for a lots of reasons.

Blender + Gimp + Krita can do everything.

So your saying I can composite this skin texture for a "MakeHuman model" in Blender's cycles render alone? I know that all "three" of those software's can do everything, but I was wondering if Blender is a "stand alone" for this texture

Thanks for replying

BTW is Gimp free?

GIMP is free http://www.gimp.org/

If you prefer there is also Paint.net and Pinta which both are also free.

All three of those graphics programs are great!

What do you mean as standalone? Are you asking if you can do a texture from scratch directly in Blender? The reply is: yes, but it's not the best software for 2d paint.

Funny how I was blind sided from this comment, but so, your saying that blender is limited for 2d painting. But I can get that same realistic skin texture in the photo above with 2d painting?

what free 2d painting software can I use to get my results? was gimp and Krita one of them as you mentioned???
