Skin shader with SSS Tweet

[gordonrobb]

Looks great most of the time. Has a kind of wax property from some angles. Can you give us some details of the settings?

about the wax effect, probably i have exaggerated a bit with the glossiness
basically is a specular material with the diffuse texture in transmission, absorbtion and scattering, and the specular map in reflection and roughness with different settings

Thank you all, I understand the SSS in Octane now much better.

Cheers, mib.

i found the scene in the cinema 4d r14 content browser example scenes, so i decided to give it a try with the integrated plugin for c4d version 0.42. the skin shader is made with a specular material only, no mix material used. 2048 samples in direct light diffuse mode for about 2':40" per frame with 2xgtx590.

Yeah great work
just to tell something, just a little wax effect, but really great final work, i dont know if i could better

thanks sigma
here is the ocm and ocs without textures and obj (you can find them in the first page), i have slightly reduced the wax effect by increasing the absorbtion power just a little:

Bum, have loaded it in Standalone, and it works a treat. Have duplicated everything (as close as I can as some of the settings are different) in Lightwave, and it looks nothing like it

i think that you need to adapt the scale value (i had to do the same when i rebuilded the shader from c4d to standalone) if too solid, you need to decrease the scale value, if too trasparent you need to increase it

Looks like my paesano beppe nailed it, now who can duplicate his setup with a DAZ character?

I can get it to go not too transparent, but its back rather than the colour of the skin image.

it's hard to help without an example, could you post a screen capture of the node graph and the result?
