You can see my results of my renders with VSS in my gallery (noodity warning) and they look washed-out color wise. I put down VSS and have been using Aery-Soul's skin shader successfuly but tonight I did a test render of a caucasian female using VSS with some better lights and ahmahgahd did it look good. She looked soft, like females do! So I want to learn more about VSS and I will do some test renders with the color node changes and see what I get.

And yeah, my avatar is a render I did, using V4 Real Skin Shader, before I got into Aery_Soul's shader. But now that I m learning more about your skin shader ( which is seperate from VSS, I know) I'm really impressed and want to play with it more.
