Controlling Subsurface Scattering Using Xpresso

Hi. I have an object whose color will need to be easily tweaked, and that color’s RGB values are found within the material’s Color, Transparency, and Luminance channels. I created User Data to be able to control each of these values from one spot using xpresso.

However, I am using SSS in the Texture property inside the Luminance channel, and I can’t find a way to access the RGB values within SSS using xpresso. Is there something I’m missing, or is this just not possible?

Thanks.

Hi intaglio,

Please have a look to this little screen capture, (file is included in this link)

Open the material, then drag the “shaders’s preview” into XPresso, then the parameters in question.

Let me know if there is any other question, I’m happy to look into it.

All the best
