Quote - > Quote - So for human figures, I care a little less about SSS, since I was mistaken about where these effects were coming from. They are the result of diffuse inter-reflection, not sub-surface scattering.

SSS is one of those features that people tend to over-use on human character renders anyhow, to the point where you have images that look like people are made out of solid latex rubber with a brilliant spotlight behind them, with an SSS border of about half an inch.

i agree with this post. what some people dont understand is that ''less is more''.

when those people think about SSS they think about the red parts on the skin. so they think that they need to make it obvious enough so that we will notice it. we notice SSS even if its subtle. and subtle is realistic. but to them  of course it needs to be ''in your face''.
