This tutorial covers the full range of Maya’s fast subsurface shaders, with a detailed examination of how to make human skin and render it in mental ray.
We will begin with a clear definition and explanation of the complex lighting behavior of subsurface scatter. Then we will examine how the set of 10 Maya shaders are used to simulate this lighting effect. Detailed examinations of all subsurface scatter shader variables are demonstrated with examples in a variety of lighting conditions. The last set of lessons goes deeper into creating shader networks for human skin.
As we learn about the behavior of skin in light, we will create two complex shader networks that combine the fast_skin_maya shader with mia shader in order to use the strengths of each. Also, we will cover rendering these shaders out in passes so all layers of skin, epidermal, sub-dermal, diffuse, back scatter, and more can be opened in NUKE layers and modified separately.

  2. Nice… Do you know if a tuto like this exists for 3ds max?
    Thanks!
    I love you cgpersia.

  5. The tutorial does not show how the CREATE sss shader, even if it is writen “learn to create realistic skin shader”.
    The tutorials lasts about 11 minutes.
    The instructor EXHIBITION only projects already complete, it does not explain how to build…
    It is still useful because there are projects, and with a lot of patience you can analyze and understand… or simply copy ^^’

    Digital tutors quality is going down … already another tutorial this year has had the same unfortunate idea.

    Thanks GCPERSIA your work is still appreciated!

    (sorry for my english)

    • It’s not the best of tutorials but the creative series is meant for more advance users, if you want to learn how to make a ss skin shader from scratch you should look for intermediate tutorials

  6. well, there’s no tutorial that is really good. most of them just tell u, and never show u. Some are so dead boring, too technical, and they always assume u know, but never show u how to do it. that’s why my tutorials on youtube are very thorough. I don’t assume or do shortcuts w/o telling the viewers. A famous saying from steven seagal’s movie \assumption is the mother of all fuck up\. True. assumption is the for idiots without common sense.
