Tom, thanks for the added info. Any chance of having a texture map option added to the SSS layer? If several combined layers with different colors are already possible, then coloring using a map shouldn't require too much extra coding I hope.

The reason is, SSS evaluates the final color on the surface as a result of internal scattering while BSDF directly determines it. So, it's not really possible to map it at the moment. But we have other plans for the future of course...

I don't understand...there is not mapping channel in s.s.s.?

I won't be able to look into it my self until this weekend but that might cause my skin asperations to fail

No s.s.s. leaves for trees even?

The reason is like Tom explained, what happens at the surface is the result of what happens inside the material itself. You can however weight a bsdf with an sss for example if you have a wax candle and want some image on it.

For skin it's not that difficult since a lot of the look of skin comes from the bumpmap and a good roughness map. These channels are available for sss just like with the bsdf.

Here is one quick test I did weighting a bsdf with two sss components. One sss was weightmapped to influence just the lips. It's too shiny and it's just a bump map used, with displacement it would look better, especially the lips.

real nice Mihai

Thumbs up again Mihai !.. this render really really rocks.. !

MS: As i see you're quite new to this forum, you should be welcome aboard the Maxwell Inn. hope you enjoy your stay here. Your test of sss looks fine, and very clean. What was the rendertime for that ? and on what hardware ?

Mihai: pretty good looking dark skin, considering it's a "quick test" i'd like to see what it looks like when you spent more time on it..

very convincing test, Mihai! rendertime...?

I am really brand new here, thank you for your welcome, Maximus3D.

If I remember well, the test took about 4 hours (SL 21) on 32bit Win XP, 4GB RAM and with Q6600 without any overclocking.

[Maximus3D]

You're welcome MS 4 hours is pretty fast on such hardware, my rig is about the same as yours. That's interesting..

Here's one test i ran during the night, it's supposed to be a towel material using sss and displacement. But oh dear did this render slow or what average benchmark varied between 0,3 to 0,7 so this towel material is unusuable at the moment. This one rendered for 8 hours and reached SL 6,11 in that time. ..and the 'peaks' of it are to high, i know.

Good test though, Max!
