This Tool Creates Hyperrealistic Skin You Will Want in Your Pipeline

Fareed Nagy presents PoreFX.

Skin is an extremely important part of a 3D character, which can crank it to the maximum with the right texture. Fareed Nagy's PoreFX will definitely make your digital person look top-notch with the hyperrealistic skin it offers.

The Houdini-made tool shows high-res pores and wrinkles that look as if they were taken from a photo. They move and change with every expression just as they do on a real face.

PoreFX provides a generous suite of tools that can take capture data, read and reconstruct each pore, furrow line, and wrinkle. It offers a skin grooming set of brushes for when the input data is missing as well as dynamic deformations "to get those natural anisotropic reflections and lifelike skin behavior."

"All of this while being fully GPU accelerated throughout, with a custom made ray-tracer for those blazing fast 16k map bakes. This has been a passion project of mine for the past 3 years, I’m so proud to finally get to show what it’s capable of."

Unfortunately, PoreFX is not available to the public yet, but you should definitely keep an eye on Nagy's ArtStation. You can see his skills in realism in FlippedNormals' Eye Kit if you wish to start using his other tools.
