Hello everyone!
I decided to record this video as I've received a certain amount of questions on this topic. Here I show how I usually create a skin shader for my character, work with such tools as FACEFORM and VFACE and how in general you can get a good result quite quickly and easily! For the base I took a ready-made VFACE head and dosculpted it a bit, so as not to spend too much time. So I already had the UV sweep ready, but I still decided to show you how you can "stretch" the base VFACE head onto the sculpted head.

I hope this will be useful for you.
