A texture in the Diffuse amount can be used as a mask for the SSS layers to simulate dust or paint on the surface.Ĭolor mode – Allows you to determine which method is used to control the sub surface scattering effect. Values in between can be used to “harden” the surface while retaining the SSS effect inside when using larger Scatter radius values. When set to 1.0, the material shows no sub-surface scattering. When set to 0, the material does not use the diffuse component.

The Diffuse amount needs to be greater than 0 for it to have any effect.ĭiffuse amount – Controls the strength of the diffuse component of the material by blending between the diffuse and the sub-surface layers. The effect is a color tint, where pure white means neutral and doesn’t introduce tinting.ĭiffuse color – Specifies the color of the diffuse portion of the material. This color serves as a filter for both the diffuse and the sub-surface components. Overall color – Controls the overall coloration for the material.
