dummies guide to SSS shading

Is there a somewhat comprehensive guide to learning all of the functions of the new SSS features?

It looks like its some sort of modifier rather than a material. If I use it on a matcap I have no control over the lighting. Should I be using more than one light as wel and a basic material rather than matcaps? I have no idea what all of the settings do.

There’s a section on it in the ZBrush4_whats_new.pdf in the ZBrush 4.0 Documentation folder on page 121.

V depth and L depth still don’t make much sense to me. I want to be able to get the ears, nose and fingers too look transparent and backlit, yet the skin to look slightly but not too much waxy.

you can also visit the ZBrush4 beta testers forum for more information as well as read the documentation, thanks zber2 :slight_smile: !

Hey Womball, longtime no see.
Any progress on finding decent sss info?

Thanks Rasa
