MISSS fast skin & Mix8Layer

#1

hey, how do i connect these up ?

i connected the out.value of the MISSS to the Base layer of the Mix8
the put the MISSS_Lmap in to the Light map of the Mix8 SG

seems to render with SSS but if i plug in a Phong E into layer 1 (with blend mode at normal, then i tried add then Screen then overlay) it seems to go away

i want to use the Phong E to plug in my color, spec and bump map. ( there is a bump map goin into the bump of the MISSS fast skin, yeh i used the 2d Bump node)

How can i fix this how can i use the Mix8 with the MISSS and Phong ?
is it necessary to do this ? or am i just taking extra steps ?

I also tried connecting a color map (file texture) into the OverAll color of MISSS fast skin, i doesnt seem to render with the color of the file texture … it seems darker?
Why is this ?

That’s a quick setup of a mixed phong+misss:

The ramp’s outAlpha is plugged into o.factor of layer.1

hey thanks…

do u connect the MISSS fast skin in to the color ( i think it is fColor 1 ) on the base layer?
and do u connect the MISSS lmap to the Light map in the shading group of the MIX8?
the phong into color of layer 2?

nex question:- is it good to do this setup if i am tryin to do a skin for my character?

what i want to do is plug my color/bump/spec (and any other maps) into the phong (since i dont knwo where to plug them onto the MISSS fast skin ). I just wannt to acheive some subsurface scattering on him wile using the maps which i spent time working on (cant let good work go to waste :slight_smile: :wink: )
