With the impending collapse of the Citadel, two members of the Resistance are tasked with evacuating any citizens remaining. Little do they know that their mission sees them gaining critical information that puts the early fate of White Forest in their hands.
Subsurface scattering (or SSS) is a mechanism of light transport in which light penetrates the surface of a translucent object, is scattered by interacting with the material, and exits the surface at a different point. The light will generally penetrate the surface and be reflected a number of times at irregular angles inside the material, before passing back out of the material at an angle other than the angle it would have if it had been reflected directly off the surface. Subsurface scattering is important in 3D computer graphics, being necessary for the realistic rendering of materials such as marble, skin, and milk.
Along with that, we've also created a cloth shader, specifically for clothing and fabrics in general. It currently is based on the Minnaert Shading method.
This looks great, the skin is awesome. Is the effect as noticeable on rebels(or is it too expensive to just throw around)?
It's too expensive to throw it around. We use it on story characters and for cutscenes, and then there's two versions of it: Cheap and 'Full'.
Any chance of an optional shader pack to use on all characters?
12 of 'full' skin shader characters on screen brings a 5970 to it's knees (<10 FPS).
Probably not.
To tell ya the truth, I can hardly see it :s
Look at the way the light wraps around the model, not the texture.
I know what to look for, mang.... It's just that I don't really see the scattering around where it should be. There's plenty under the chin it looks like, but it's way too subtle on the ears and nose. I assume that this was a test for the shader, not the actual assets that it uses. Maybe there's no sss map... idk.
Maybe the white specular is throwing me off too. Actually that's probably it.

Ah, that second screenshot. Now that's ******* awesome.
Quite the lazy eye there!
Good job, gives the model a 'warmer' appearance.
