Intended for artists, this one-day class focuses on using the subsurface scattering shaders, both misss_physical and misss_*, spending quite a bit of time in the latter shader understanding how to set and mix the various subsurface scattering layers. We also cover translucency with the mia_material shader. Exercises within the 3D application provide hands-on practice with the material covered in lecture.

The minimum requirements for taking the class include:

1. 1. Class 101 and 102, or equivalent experience using mental ray in one of the 3D applications (Maya, XSI/Softimage, 3ds max, etc.).
2. 2. Strong familiarity with the shader UI in the 3D application

One day, 10AM-6PM
