Human Skin Studio is an Unreal Engine editor plugin for creating, configuring, previewing, and applying customizable skin materials through a guided workflow.

Create HSS material instances for selected character material slots, assign source texture maps, choose a subsurface profile, and adjust skin properties across multiple materials at once or fine-tune individual slots.

Human Skin Studio also includes a non-destructive tattoo workflow for positioning tattoo artwork directly on the character preview, adjusting its appearance, generating composite maps, and applying the result to the relevant material instances.
