Subsurface Scattering - advice

Hi everyone

Here is a link that helped explain SSS to me a little bit more, check it out, it might be helpful:

I found that when I used the Subdermal colour map(step3), as suggested it brought out the blues and reds in the skin.

I found that when I used the weightmap (step4) it made the skin generally darker.

Not too sure how the epidermal colour layer (step2) affects it

Hope it helps - if you find anything useful about SSS please upload it
