We still seem to have glowing when two meshes with SSS are atop each other very close together - like with LH's genitals, I had to remove SSS in his conforming anatomy bits to avoid the glowing. Thankfully, that doesn't seem to show up too much.

The bluish look used to happen when you used HDRI with bright blue sky. I don't see it happening nowadays, but might be just that I found better quality HDRI. Not sure.

Tomorrow (I'm off to bed now) I'll show renders of my latest character I'm working on, and her shader - with PhysicalSurface root, yes. As I'm getting a better hang of Substance Painter, I'm getting better results. PhysicalSurface makes it stupid easy to look good in Superfly with good textures. There are just some things it (the Physical root) simply can't do at all, like anisotropic specular or volume effects and refraction. For everything else, it works wonders.

Superfly's one BIG flaw remains being the lack of micromesh displacement. I'm still forever begging them to give us that.
