I can no longer edit the earlier post. I reversed the pictures first time.
So Q Up is more narrow. Q Down is more wide.
A couple other notes about this shader you may find different than normal.
I subtract half the diffuse value from the specular color (WHITE). This softens the speculars and avoids color blooming artifacts that produce pink-yellow bands around shiny areas in bright lights.
I also subtract half the specular from the SSS, so SSS does not show up where the specular is strong. Does this have any correspondence with reality? I have no idea, but I like the effect.
Renderosity forum reply notifications are wonky. If I read a follow-up in a thread, but I don't myself reply, then notifications no longer happen AT ALL on that thread. So if I seem to be ignoring a question, that's why. (Updated September 23, 2019)
