This is a companion file for my SSS tutorial, created on request of Dakkuuan.
Find the tutorial here: http://www.sharecg.com/v/76566/gallery/3/PDF-Tutorial/Subsurface-Scattering-in-3Delight-for-DS
Unzip this archive into your "Content" or "My Library" folder.
In the "Presets" folder, find the "Mustakettu85" one. There are two DS files:
- Mk85_Bree-Example4.duf : a material preset for G2F corresponding to Example 4 from section II.2 of the tutorial, with one difference: eye reflection uses Omnifreaker's Park HDR map that comes with DAZ Studio;
- PixieLight.duf : a scene subset with the lights used for Examples 4 and 5. For the IBL maps to work, you need my Fantasy Lights:

Remember to turn gamma correction ON in your render settings and set gamma to 2.2, otherwise I do not guarantee the outcome!
Important: please check the gamma correction settings per map in the Image Editor! DS somehow saves them wrong sometimes. To do this in the most efficient way, select in turn Templates 1 to 3 of your G2F and open the Image Editor for the following maps:
- diffuse colour: gamma should be "0";
- specular strength: gamma should be "1";
- bump map: gamma should be "1".
Diffuse colour is also loaded into SSS colour, same as the specular map is loaded into the strengths of both speculars, but you only need to set the gamma correction once: DS will update all channels using the same image.
This information is included in the archive in the Important-Readme.txt file in the same folder. « Less
You are probably trying to load the preset without anything selected! It is a material preset, so it needs a figure to be in the scene already. Please load G2F first from her folder, then select her in the "Scene" tab and then click on the preset. It should load just fine! I just tested the dowloaded file on a different computer, and it works =)
You're welcome! If you understand the Poser SSS, then it's only a matter of learning how to setup DS shaders - the algorithms are shared between the programs.
Hi Daukkuuan,
I'm glad I could help! And technically I am not a man, but it does not really matter =D
