I have been using Octane for a few months now, and have had some success with the various skin shaders, in particular the ones by Tonysculptor (to whom I am very grateful). However I have seen that some people have struggled with using these shaders, so thought I would have a go at one myself. Built this up from scratch with some reference to colours used in Tony's shaders.
If you use Daz models, just replace the images with appropriate ones (diffuse, specular, bump, normal and sss) etc.
The below image was my first render with it - though I did some minor colour post work in photoshop.
This is my first go at a shader so would really appreciate some feedback.
