Hey, Tomato here. Here's a quick rundown of the different layers for female_basic_TM, as well as a quick tutorial on how to use them. This base is only set up for TM style female meshes, but could work with Irrational's Female Basic with some minor modification.

~~List of layers~~

Wireframe- Reference wireframes for the Female_Basic_TM meshes.

Highlight- The majority of the highlight base contained here.

Skin- A premade Skin tone base.

Shadow- flat background. Used as a reference.



~~Quick Tutorial~~

The whole concept behind my bases is that rather than having one flat base which I need to constantly adjust the contrast and color on (which is incredibly taxing in practice) I can layer whatever colors I want overtop one another using a series of masks. By setting these masks to the same opacity as my base, I can quickly adjust both the colors of each layer, and adjust the density of the "highlight" layers by editing the mask.
