The development of 50 skin texture sets for Virt-a-Mate patched is feasible within 8 weeks using a hybrid AI-scanning pipeline. The patched version’s support for 8K textures, SSS masks, and dual-lobe specular will make these sets a definitive upgrade over vanilla VaM skins. Post-release, a community update for specular response (wet skin toggle) is recommended. 50 skin texture sets for virtamate patched
Estimated Cost (if outsourced): $2,500 - $4,000 USD
