The Age of Armour subsurface shader adds new subsurface scattering strengths to DAZ Studio including automatic back-scattering and two diffuse methods allowing for both heavily translucent materials and life like human skin.
It is based on the OpenPBR Surface shading model, and provides parameterscompatible with similar PBR shaders found in other software,such as the Disney and Standard Surface models.Image textures painted or baked from software like Substance Paintermay be directly linked to the corresponding input in this shader.

The metal component is opaque and only reflect lights. Diffuse is fully opaque, whilesubsurface also involves light scattering just below the surface. Both diffuse andsubsurface sit below a specular layer. The transmission component includes bothspecular reflection and refraction.
Blends between a dielectric and metallic material model.At 0.0 the material consists of a diffuse or transmissive base layer, with a specular reflection layer on top.A value of 1.0 gives a fully specular reflection tinted with the base color,without diffuse reflection or transmission.
Cycles OnlyRandom walk method optimized for skin rendering. The radiusis automatically adjusted based on the color texture, andthe subsurface entry direction uses a mix of diffuse andspecular transmission with custom IOR. This tends to retaingreater surface detail and color and matches measured skinmore closely.
Directionanltiy of volume scattering within the subsurface medium. Zero scatters uniformlyin all directories, with higher values scattering more strongly forward.For example skin has been measure to have an anisotropy of 0.8.
Controls the intensity of the coat layer, both the reflection and the tinting.Typically should be zero or one for physically-based materials, but may be texturedto vary the amount of coating across the surface.
The DAZ Subsurface shader adds new3D mode subsurface scattering strengths to DAZ Studio. This base product includes automatic back-scattering and two diffuse methods allowing for both heavily translucent materials and life-like human skin.
Now, understanding SSS quite well, I simply adjusted the radius and plugged her base colour into the subsurface colour node and played with the radius and scale values till I got a balance that looked right, but encountered an issue that I cannot find a solution to, anywhere on the internet.
And for some reason all videos on the internet don't seem to encounter the issue I have at all, not even at the start when they initially apply SSS. My eyelids and ears under certain angles, are blue, and I know it's the light scattering through the thin geometry and I can adjust the values to eliminate that but I have to lower the subsurface values so much that there basically is no SSS on the model by the time the blue is gone.
Hi there!
I'm using the new Adobe version of Substance Painter 3D. I'm working on a project where I want to have subsurface scattering. So I've enabled it in my camera/video settings, the shader I'm using (asm-metal-rough) and set the scattering color to "scattering color channel".
As soon as I do this, the diffuse (base) color disappears off of all of my texture sets in Painter, including ones that don't even have scattering channels. The only way to get them back is to turn off subsurface scattering.
Is anyone else experiencing this bug? I can approximate the results I'm looking for if I use the Redshift - Rayleigh scattering with default albedo, which works, but as soon as I make the color source my scattering color channel, my base colors all disappear.
Help? Is there some minimum system requirement I'm lacking? I have the reqs for the general application.
The last screenshot is showing that if I turn off the scattering color channel, there's no color at all on my material even though it has a base color.
When using the scattering color channel as the base for your scattering, you are effectively replacing the base color by this scattering color wherever your material is translucent. When using Scattering, Painter will use consider your whole model to be translucent by default. If you want the SSS to affect only parts of your model, make sure to add a translucency channel to your texture set and use that as a mask between translucent (white) and opaque (black) parts of your model.
One of the devs said something along the lines of the subsurface color value not being anything special. Behind the scenes it was just mixed with the base color according to the subsurface slider value. The same can be done with a color mix node.
The shader adds features not previously available in UberSurface or the DAZ Studio default shader.A few of the new features include procedural, skin pore shaped bump and specular highlights, casting of tinted shadows and super soft translucency.
The two primary contributors to the soft volume effect are the surface diffuse, showing only the light which is directly reflected by the outer surface,and subsurface scattering which is the bouncing of light within the volume of the model.
Subsurface scattering, the principal function that provides the soft translucent effect, is highly tied to lighting and scale.Just like real life translucent materials, these shader presets will look very different depending on the lights around it.
For example, a person photographed using only a flash coming from the front will show very little subsurface scattering.If a strong light is placed directly behind the person, their ears will glow and scattered highlights may be seen in the skinalong the edges of the persons silhouette.
Ambient lights tend to have a strong effect on subsurface scattering. Use of an ambient light, in conjunction with rim, key and fill lightscan make 3d models using subsurface scattering look very soft and translucent.
The objects shape and scale is taken into account when the renderer calculates subsurface scattering. Just as with objects in the real world, a large wax statuewill scatter and absorb light differently than a small candle made of the same wax. This does not mean you will need to scale your objects in the 3d scene.An easier method is to simply adjust the Shading Scale slider in the subsurface settings.
To apply a shader preset first select the object, then select the material zones you wish the shader to be applied to.Holding Ctl/Cmd while clicking will allow multiple material zones to be selected at once.The surface selection tool also automatically selects the object when a material zone is clicked in the 3d viewport.
The base shader has no preset settings. It updates the internal shading code thentakes the maps and settings that were previously on the surface and attempts to create a surface that closely resembles the original but additional features will now be available.
Note that these settings work much in the same way as the ambient settings of the default DAZ Studio shader with the exception that changes to these settings do not showin the DAZ Studio Preview window.
Ambient should not be confused with subsurface scattering. Ambient is intended to make an object glow independently of the lighting in the scene.Subsurface scattering is a translucency effect that reacts to lights in the scene.
With that said, ambient settings are taken into consideration by, and can contribute to, subsurface scattering.If a material with ambient shares the same Subsurface Group ID with other materials, the ambient color will bleed into those other surfaces.This can be useful for creating the look of softly glowing surfaces or neon lights.
Pre SSS uses the diffuse color and texture in the subsurface calculation. This generally gives a softer looking diffuse.Under this method the diffuse strength may be increased or decreased.At a high diffuse strength the surface may look more solid and the effects of subsurface scattering may not be as noticeable.At very low settings, some of the detail of textures, like lip color, moles or freckles will "wash out" and the model will appear more like soft wax.
Post SSS diffuse tells the subsurface portion of the shader to consider the outer surface as being solid white.After subsurface scattering is calculated, the shader takes the subsurface result then multiplies it with the diffuse color, texture and strength.This preserves detail in the outer surface but limits the usefulness of diffuse strength. A very low diffuse strength, strong color or dark texture map willalso darken the subsurface color. The subsurface or diffuse strength may need to be increased to help adjust for this.
The settings work in the same way as the default DAZ Studio shader with the exception that, when no displacement map is used, the Maximum Displacement and Minimum Displacement settings should be set to 0.
It is important to note that this shader does not support "mapped reflections" but rather the more realistic method of ray traced reflections.As such, surfaces using this shader will only reflect items in the scene around it.In other words, if an object using this shader is alone in a scene you will see no reflections because there is nothing for it to reflect.
This feature of the shader uses the "3delight Specular Model" to provide highlights.Its falloff looks almost as if there are two aspects to the surface such as skin which is fairly dull but may have a thin, glossy layer of oil over it.It also works well at glossier settings to give the look of shiny plastic with very fine surface imperfections. e24fc04721
