SSS Shader Question

Showster

Hi guys I just checked this post

I plan to do something similar, but could someone attempt to explain how the red image works in the shader? ( is that just heat zones?)



Kinds regards

If you read Bryan Cavett's post, you'll see he puts the SSS map into the slot for the back-surface scatter colour. Basically that means that any sub-surface scattering effecting showing through a back surface will be tinted towards the colour in the SSS map.
