If you go into the material room and click the "idiot button" called "add SSS" it just throws in the SSS Skin node. That does not a full shader make. So, danae arrived at her complex of nodes in some way. I agree that if it arose out of a study of BB's explorations and free shaders, it would have been proper and fair for an acknowlegement.

Further, since tweaking is unavoidable, we have to learn what the various nodes and settings therin actually do. So, study of BB's work seems indicated regardless. So, I am echoing that it is not necessarily necessary [!] to purchase a package to obtain and learn to manipulate a full SSS shader. Thanks for your essay in the craft, BB.

I am not a blind champion of danae, having gone to extent of requesting a refund on RIO once it became clear there was no non-makeup texture. In our exchange, danae simply did not think this was an important issue.

And apparently BB is now saying the dreaded painted-in specular can be detected in Dublin. I'd say this is relative, as having gazed with horror at many atrocities in the past, this set looks quite matte and even to me. It is not impacting my renders.

All that having been said, whoever executed the photoshoot and workup of this skin from life did a great job. I am glad to have it. Thanks danae.
