Hey Corinthian ...
I am loving this set so far ... my fae looks way better now, and hopefully it will help get her accepted into my little store here ... but I got a few questions since you didn't have al ot of info with the product.
Which nodes are ok to mess around with? Like colours and settings ... and your make-up setting are for the Pro .... but what if I am using the basic mode? I understand about things being on whilte, thats easy enuff to do ... but what is the set up in that mode? Do I need to use the basic SSS for things like eyes, nails, and full body art as well as lips and make-ups? What about a skin effect like sparkles? Any different set-up for lashes?
Sorry for all the questions .... but I want to get the full effect with this, without killing a customer base with killer long render times LOL

I'm all over these questions! Just...wait for me to get to Poser and I'll post the actual with-image replies. SORRY! I just wanted you to know I'll be responding soon is all.
But...the quick answer is this: only the skin needs SSS. Nails have SSS without paint on them, but if you use Red Rage nail polish...you won't need to have SSS on those nails because light can't penetrate that coat of paint. Lashes don't get SSS because ..well, just don't do it:P Poser can't handle SSS on transmapped hair/lashes:)
Oh, and you can mess with any of the nodes, in any of the shaders, as you see fit. As long as you're selling what you're making feel free to alter the wha'zoo out of everything or keep the nodes the same if like - just be sure to alter the supplied maps no matter what. And...follow the license as usual, of course! Rosity would kill me if I don't say that! lol
Sprakle'skin? Are you trying to make Edward from Twilight? I bet you are! And yes it is do'able. I'll go over it just as soon as I get to Poser and can pump out some screen shots.
