I spent the last week working on skin texture for my head model. I used UV
mapping and a layered texture, put together in Moray's material editor. Any
suggestions for improvement would be appreciated.

Okay I'm shooting from the hip: The more expert will correct me if I am
wrong I hope.

First, I think the finish you are getting is only the last one
specified. ( So right now you are getting nothing from the layering
except some sort of self-documenting code-construction niceness. )

Using a procedural texture to generate the image map and then applying
that with uvmapping is a good way to go.  I have seen it used before as
an automated way to establish a base pigment.  ( And you have used it
well to get a chroma effect, ie. playing warm vs cool such as red vs
green to produce a vibrant skin like tone. Excellent! )  Now you need to
add a lot of vagary with hand drawn spots, veins, lip color, etc. 
Again, in most graphics editors you can maintain these additions on 
separate layers,
and only let them merge in a saved off copy.  You may find as you make
your pigment more complex, that you may find a thinner base texture
works better. Not sure.  I am experimenting with all this myself.

To take the normal effect further you can add uvmapped bump_maps but
these are 'layered' via the 'average' pattern.

Similarly you can attempt to layer in bit_mapped variations on one of
the finish components: diffuse, specular, or reflection.  To do that, I
believe, you would compose textures that are identical except for the
component in question, and then mix them with the image_pattern.  So far
I am not sure how to break out all three separately, you could only
average them I think.

I think someone is going to get a job offer from Curious Labs :-)

Finally found time to chase this down.
This tutorial I found to be the most dramatic
example of using handpainted colour on a pigment map.

Not true. Changes made in finish attributes on the under layer definitely
show through. I just tried it again to be sure.

I did that .

I tried puting a normal noise pattern on the under layer, but when I used
transformation to scale it it scaled the entire UV map. Now I'm thinking I
put the transformation in the wrong place. I'll have to try it again.
Thank you for your comments and suggestions.

I downloaded Moray and gave it a spin.  Definitely some nice features 
there.  I couldn't believe you had to do a screen shot to gget a copy of 
the uv template.  But I found no other solution either.  Shame, because 
the uvmapping feature is very nice.  I will tune into the moray ng's but 
I still find it hard to believe you must do a screen shot.  Presumably 
this has to do with where the design is headed?

There is a plugin for Moray called UV Map Export, see
http://www.stmuc.com/moray/meplugin.html , which is supposed to let you
export a UV map as a .bmp file. I tried puting it into the program, but it
must be buggy, because it made Moray crash the moment I tried to open the
mesh file.
