Simplified Subsurface Scattering in Redshift! SSS...S?

[@bloodstains.cinema]

This is by far the best video I've seen on Redshift SSS. Subbed.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thanks! Glad it helped and glad to have you along for the ride. 🤜🤛

[@christophedepoire7775]

So good idea that you had, thank you for explaining one of the only obscure feature from Redshift, you are a Monsieur! (I'm french), FYI I use Modo too and it is sooo simple in Modo, just activate SSS and tweak it 2 sec and you have a good looking SSS, nothing like that in RS, I hope the RS team will see that and reinvent completely the way to get sss result in a more "artist friendly" way

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thanks Christophe, I can confirm that this is the first time I've ever been called a Monsieur!

[@andershjemdahl6547]

Thank you so much for this great tutorial! It would be great to be able to learn more about how SSS interacts with other settings for creating glassy materials, like Reflection and Refraction/Transmission - I'm getting some pretty unpredictable results.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thank you! This lesson we did a while back might be helpful to you. There is a section where we combine SSS with glass. www.youme.academy/sexcolorfulfoggyglass

[@aaa-mt3tz]

Hey, great tutorial! Just one thing to add: Extinction, in some ways, is actually a little bit easier to use and control for interesting effects. I'd highly recommend looking into it, it's not really more technical. Unfortunately not free, but I believe either the HelloLuxx or GSG Redshift trainings cover it well.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thanks for making this 👏... been having the same frustrations with SSS in redshift

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Always, I hope this helps.

[@korcanatalay]

It's Scattering coefficient: It is simply a multiplier for the scattering. So when you pick a color it simply multiplies the values just like a photoshop overlay.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thanks Korcan!

[@Biomed4d]

hey nice tutorial..what is the scale of the object

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

It’s approximately 135H x 135W cm

[@albancontrepois]

Thanks ! Do you know how to revome flickering for sss texture on animation please ?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

You can start by upping your samples in the Sampling Override section under the Basic Tab. Past that it depends on your scene setup. Try to narrow down what is causing the noise, then increase your samples based on your findings. The noise could be coming from your lights, materials, etc. It's a bit of detective work, but this is what makes Redshift so powerful is the ability to adjust your settings individually and not globally. Good luck!

[@Workbenchtv]

Good stuff! Coeff is short for coefficient so there’s really no pronunciation for it. 😉

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thank you! I will point and nod next time 😉 Thanks for your support 🤜🤛

[@Workbenchtv]

@@YouAndMeAcademy Haha, no worries! Keep it up!

[@andrearusky]

Great! Very informative! By the way what setting were you using for GI? Brute Force?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Brute force for primary and IR for secondary. Thank you for the support!

Thanks man!

[@abinari]

great tut, ominous model!!!

[@asklapios]

thank you so much and this tutorial is the best simple explanation tutorial in internet. could you share this C4d files , i wonder about lights setups

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Hey there, thanks for the love! I don't own the rights to redistribute this model so unfortunately I can not post the project. You can see the lighting setup in the video though :)

[@kuunami]

I assume that in Scatter Coeff, Coeff stands for coefficient. A mathematical process that changes the look of the SSS.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thank you for the information Kuunami 💪

Amazing tutorial! Now, hah, hear this question! - Will there be a tutorial on this topic for Octane?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Ha! Well I’d have to learn it first. Thank you for your support 🙃

[@mariotapia6890]

Great tutorial, man! Months trying to understand and as you said it, there's a lot of technical and reality accurate tutorials but nothing to keep stylised and simple. I have one question: wich nvidia card(s) do you use? or do you have any tip for preview render settings? i'm shocked at how fast your render denoises, i have a Rtx 2060super but its not close as fast. Thanks again for this awesome video!

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Hi Mario, really glad this has helped you. My card is a single RTX 2080 Ti. When I am doing my lessons I typically keep the settings very low so I can give you all quick previews. Samples Min 4 and Max 16. Typically l don't work HD size, either 1280x720 or 960x540 just to get an idea. When it comes time to get into the details I will bump it all up. You can also the preview scaling to be lower. It's the % on the right side of the preview window. That will reduce your actual resolution, so if your output is at 1920x1080 and you set it to 50% then you will actually be previewing at 960x540. I have a lesson explaining all this for the Renderview. Check out the Hotline How-To... you can ask me questions on there too. Thanks for the support!

[@mariotapia6890]

​@@YouAndMeAcademy Wow! Thanks for the detailed and fast response. I'll watch your Hotline How to Video and turn on the alerts for your channel, my man. Keep up the amazing tuts!

I have an imported fbx and it just goes blank when I apply any subsurface scattering, have dropped a platonic the same size and it reacts accordingly and works with subsurface. Any idea why this would happen?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Hey Tyler, email a link to the file and I’ll have a look. You can send me a message at www.youme.academy. Thanks 💪

[@Tennet3D]

Old post, but if anyone sees this… it could be due to reversed normals on the FBX object.

Just saw my Sketchbot render in your example mood board! 🤓

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Dope work Steve! Thanks for the support!

[@SeraphsWitness]

Coeff is short for coefficient.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Stronger together 🤜🤛

[@andrewstrasser]

the scatter coefficient is kind of lke the color of the pigment of the skin

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Thank you Andrew!

[@ergoest744]

Great!!! Would be nice to knew, how to reduce from that SSS noise on renders, especially on skin in shadows, without turning on "denoise" option. Its always grainy in shadows, even all other materials in shadows are perfect :(

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Have you tried upping your samples in SSS? I can maybe throw something together to help out with this. Thanks for your support :D

[@ergoest744]

@@YouAndMeAcademy yeah, tried up to 2048, doesn't work :/

[@cgboy888]

Is it GPU based rendering or CPU?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Redshift is GPU based.

[@ilikeitwhatisit]

I think that Coeff stands for Coefficient

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

It does, thank you for the info and support! 🤜🤛

[@yoyoz333]

when i do it, it just makes my object look like a bunch of noise. did you have different settings than default?

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Hey 50, well there are a lot of variables that can make your scene look differently. Most importantly is your lighting. Make sure you start with good lighting and then move on to the SSS. I can look at the scene if you send me a link. You can email me at www.youme.academy

[@JoshuaLundquist]

Got nearly 20 minutes into this and didn't get wtf was happening but hey pro tip for dummies: Make sure your render settings are set to REDSHIFT first before delving into this!

@@YouAndMeAcademy Thank you for the tutorial! I have rewatched many times now

[@Ricardo-de9ju]

I think nobody uses that anymore, Random Walk SSS is the way to go.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

Ok

[@Tennet3D]

So basically, what you’re saying is ”It’s just a dance, and if you play with the sliders, you’ll see what you get.” I understand that the point of the video wasn’t to be scientific, but to explain how SSS works and what it does, you do need to be somewhat scientific. Each of those sliders corresponds to real-world properties, and understanding them will give you better control over the SSS effect.

[@YouAndMeAcademy]

@tennet3d thanks for your thoughts. In my experiences most ppl don’t care about the technical, the ultimate goal is to create a beautiful product. Of course knowing how a tool works is import, but honestly like most things in life a basic understanding is key. The point of this video was the opposite of your thoughts, it’s geared toward Artists not Operators.

[@ytronik]

why is the nose spot between the eyes so glitchy? will multiple SSS fix this?
