Introduction:

This tutorial is designed for beginners, who are attempting to make their first “cartoony” or stylized characters. It was created in Maya 2010 in conjunction with the Animation Workshop school in Denmark. The tutorial is recorded in real time, with no 'skipping ahead' or double speed, so you can follow along as we go, and hopefully by then end of the series you should have the basic knowledge for creating your own character head in Maya.

"ZBrush, Blender & Maya Training - Lesson 13: Sub Scattering of Particles - Video Tutorials" by Jason Welsh Sub scattering of particles? Huh?

After this chapter you can impress your friends by going up to them and saying “Wow, the sub-scattering of particles of light hitting your ears is very impressive!” and you will look like a cool person once more (either that or a nerd). Anyway, this is a more advanced lesson, so strap on your cap and we’ll take a look at SSS using mapping from ZBrush.
