iClone provides the bump map channel to add facial wrinkle effects. You may import the normal maps from iClone program folder \iClone Template\texture\face normal. Using Pixel shader, normal map can create sophisticated texture effects without increasing the face count of the head.
Custom facial normal maps can be generated from ZBrush or 3DS Max, please check our developer forum for the facial map developer resources.
