I rendered all my characters and put them in a huge image ordered by skin tone. This way I could find the texture I would like depending on character I wanted to create. If I wanted someone with a more red tone or more yellow tone. If I wanted a darker or lighter character. I can tell you it sounds easy, but it's almost impossible to do. There are so many ways a skin tone can differ. I would say it's almost an impossible job to give characters an ethnicity and get it right. There are way too many unclear cases.
That sounds like a great idea for organizing my characters, one for shape and one for texture, with notes on textures for makeup options and notes for shaping options.
Will be interesting to see what each character looks like with cartoonize applied at different % as well.
I suggest you go back to some old geography books prior to the 70s with photos of traditional folk people and clothing. Use the DAZ Genesis 9 DAZ Original main morphs and materials products add ons to approximate. The clothing and hair will be the big problem. The environment too, although the environment generator by Howie Farkes can help for some of them. Eye opening that everyone used to not have such things as a Walmart, television, smart phone, and internet near by. So quaint.
