SSS For skin in 3ds max?

seforin

Hey everyone, im trying to understand how SSS works, and I found a video link on genom workshops website that explains how to create SSS skin for maya, but I hardly see any tutorials or anything for max around.

Im really trying to figure out how to create realistic skin effects when rendering out my characters, Ive seen some really awesome designs from the DW2 using SSS shader, so can anyone please explain how it works or how to go about it?

Im really REALLY lost on this subject

Read Max's help file on Mental Ray's Fast SSS shader. It's very easy to set up in the material editor, you just have to switch your renderer from default scanline to Mental Ray.

theoretically, I might suggest that you can download the max9 help files off autodesk's site.
