Hey all,
Long time no post. I have worked on this on and off for some time, but I am pretty happy with what I have right now. There are still things that need polish tweaks, but its close enough for government work. I'll post more variations as I have time.

Right now, everything is geo because it can be in the standalone. But I will be moving it over to maya for the final head hair and render, and I will test out fur.

Updated with facial hair. Still need to do some tweaks, but I thought it was worth sharing before I moved on to the main hair...

Your welcome.
Alternate render with a normal map difference. Better or worse than the other?

@ Stevenyang0430: The color is plugged into the transmission color. No need for a diffuse color. Its just a specular material with a scatter medium and large scatter scale value. At larger scale sizes the transmission behaves like diffuse, except that it actually scatters light, allowing for the ...

Another test render. I worked out the spec and added proper eyes. Hair is soon to come.

I created an example scene using my shader that I put together for nildoe here:

I used Lee Perry Smith's ...

The latest version may have not yet shown up in the db. I uploaded it last night, so it should be there soon. It is not the one labeled tonysculptor skin 2- it will have "R20" in the name. I will try to edit the older names for clarity

Hey all,
I just uploaded a new version of my skin shader for Octane 2.0. It now has displacement. I also optimized it a bit for speed and ease of use. If you build your models to real world scale, and plug a color texture into the "Color" slot with the gamma set to 2.2, it should just work.
I ...

By their nature, glossy materials can't have SSS in them. I had the same problem with making skin. What I did find is that if you use a specular material only with SSS and crank the scatter scale values to a high value you can get the desired result. A specular material still calculates reflection ...

I use a combination of a Substance Designer (not painter) generated roughness map, and overlay a very low detail map that is similar to a specular falloff map. The low res map gives me a broader value shift for specific areas where the roughness should be adjusted. I have used Substance painter, but ...
