Hi guys.
Need an advice. I'm absolutely newbie in SSS shaders, and just started using Octane recently.
I got confused where to place my textures. I downloaded 571 material from Otoy LiveDB and this is what I got in material manager.

and I have these

can anybody give me an advice where to place my textures. Tried a few options but I feel it doesn't look right (texturing not finished yet, but kinda gives sense).

Hi,
some time ago, the devs have changed the way SSS works, and from that time is no more possible to use a surface texture for controlling the sss volume, only colors are useful. You can use a b&w image in the amount of a mix material for better controlling two different SSS effects :roll:
