Thing is, one man's "good skin shader" is another man's crap.

I've written dozens of skin shader tutorials. The simplest, which I now consider crap. was the UBSS (Ultra Basic Skin Shader). But it was easy to build - less than 5 nodes.

The real issue of a good skin shader is GC, not how skin works. For P8, a good skin shader is way more nodes than for Poser Pro 2010.

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)
