Does anyone know how to make a colored SSS map ?

Hi all,

I've seen colored SSS maps used for Daz figures and I was wondering if anyone knows how to make one. Here's an example.

    I dont think youre allowed to share the texture like that.

    But to asnwer your question, it depends on the shader set up. In Daz, most Uber Iray or PBR Skin shader setups have have a Translucency Color map that is just desaturated version of Base Color map.  Some accentuate different details like veins and such.

    You could do this adjustment in Photoshop or some other 2D or 3D editing software.

    In Blender shader set up, usually SSS color is very vibrant/saturated version of Base Color map.

     

    Personally, I just used Base Color map in Trans Color shader slot.  And adjust other shader parameters to make it look good, based on the isadorekeehgan pdf that was posted on this forum sometime ago.
