Step 3 Step 4
3. Step 3. Now that we have set the main parameters, we can adjust the speculars on
the surface. Temporarily disable transmittance (set the color to black) and scattering
(set coef to 0). This will help you to better visualize/ adjust the speculars. Now, set
reectance and roughness as usual and render to make sure it is looking like the
material in Figure 4. As you can see, we can control the reectivity of the surface
without touching SSS. Keep in mind that a high reectance may block the incoming
rays more and may reduce the translucency.
4. Step 4. Go back to the transmittance color and the scattering coefcient settings
from Step 2. The render will look like Figure 5. Notice that the speculars you set in
Step 3 (Figure 4) are added to Figure 3, creating a complete material with its surface
and subsurface. You do not always have to follow these same steps. With some
practice, you will be able to set speculars and subsurface settings at once without
going back and forth all the time.
