I believe that I read somewhere a while back about newer, more realistic, or better textures/shaders than Hanmen. I prefer the Hanmen ones. However, there are some situations in which there are rather significant trade-offs. Maybe, there is a newer Hanmen version that (post 2.0?) that addresses these albeit relatively minor issues and I just can't find it.
1. "Hanmen is not particular freckle, eye shadow, and similar darker overlay(?) "friendly". I'm fairly certain that one can mitigate this somewhat by, finding way to make the freckles/eye shade look darker. 2. Veins are a little too prominent and the darker one makes the skin the more noticeable they become (I like them to a point) and vice versa. It makes sense why it does this but, isn't that realistic. 3. The dreaded inconsistency between the facial and body Next Gen in which the faces are darker than the body. This seems at least somewhat dependent on the non-censors used. 4. the dreaded neck seam. I'm not sure if this one is really a "Hanmen" issue per se just more visible. Although, the seams visibility is dependent on how signficant my "issue" #3 is. 5. The upper chest area is lighter than most of the rest of the body depending on the overall brightness. It doesn't look "bad" necessarily. However, it's odd in that it's similar to the tan overlays but, in reverse. There are ocasionally bigger issues the bizarre black around the eyes face/disfiguring issue but, that seems rare.
Anyway, sometimes I want to just go back to the somewhat dated and less realistic previous textures/shaders since, I love freckles and eye shadow (character dependent) at the cost of the rest of the skin realism. Even when I get my red head to have freckles in the face, they're hardly noticeable on the body. Anyway, this really is a good texture/shader but, I could have sworn that somebody said they prefered something better and named it but, I can't find the post. Conversely, if anybody has some work arounds that make basically remove the "issues" (if there isn't an alternative). Thank you.
