Title: SSS in rocks
Post by: Ben Kagiki on 2023-03-05, 09:01:06

Hey guys. There are two different looks im going for that requires SSS. 1. The rock with a localized sss effect. 2. General SSS to look like a glacier. Kindly assist on how to set the materials. I have attached the sample images below

Hi there, hopefully this might steer you in the right direction. For the snow, I actually use the skin shader for the multiple SSS depth options :D

I achieved something similar. Below i have attached a file.

But does this method apply to the first image or would it be easier to split the obj into two and use two different materials or is there a more ideal way to do the first image

Hi, a combination of objects and materials may work here. I guess it will all depend on a bit of trial and error. In my quick example I used a various objects and materials.

Another technique that might work here is to use a Corona Decal and project your texture onto the rock.
