Subsurface Material Type
This page list the various type of materials that can be created with the Subsurface scattering feature and how to configure Substance 3D Painter to create them. For each type of material is given a scale and color which can be set in the Subsurface Parameters.
Human skin
For a good skin material it requires:
- A good base texture : for a realistic character this means a good amount of details and various colors.
- A strong height/normal texture : the subsurface effect will soften the surface details, having strong details in the first place will compensate.
