Skin and beard shader, please help me!

[prozac93]

Hi, this is my first post on this forum, can someone please help me making a realistic skin shader??
This guy below is the project I am working on, as you can see the shader i've created don't looks so good, there is no ear back scatter etc.

My first skin shader in corona, I worked mostly in architecture visualization before so i am a newbuy in charatcer visualization in corona.

You need to use Absorption, Scattering and translucency (and reflection, obviously) option inside the CoronaMtl.
Rendertime is so high because my old machine (I7 970), big arealight (TOP) and because... translucency is slow ^__^

thank you for the support, here a new test with a screen of the  settings


The model is 1:1 scale, are that settings correct for a human skin simulation??
If no, can you help me to make the most realistic shader as possible?

ok guys, now all the shaders seems to works!

Coming soon on artstation ;D

omg.. it looks so physical and realistic in every angle with every lighting!
This renderer is fabulous!

Very nice render. Finally some character and skin shader renders ))

Thank you! Now I am working on a fur cloak over the shoulders, I'll post some renders

horns should have different glossiness than skin?
nice render

Nice work, but skin-horn transition should be very distinct ant not some colour gradient like it is now.

you have totally right but i've modeled the face a year ago and if I change the mesh i have to repaint it all, i am thinking seriously to put an helmet on

[prozac93]

i wanted to make the skin became horn in a gradient way but the effect doesn't look good as i thought

All the fur, all the beard is geometry, the armor is a decimated mesh without any displacement or normal maps and the face have a 4k displacement on it
