Ever since I started releasing scenes, I wanted to have subsurface scattering in them. So what began as a simple plugin for my own scenes eventually grew into DeepSkin, a custom skin shader and plugin with lots of control, quality and performance options, and a bunch of compatibility fixes.
Update Highlights:
Latest:
New Improved Eye Shader
- Lid Transitions
- Deep Pupil
- Lens Caustics
- New Procedural Sclera method (Natural)
New Lambert Diffuse Shading by @UncleBurrito
Performance Pass
DeepSkin's GPU cost per frame is about 40% lower in scenes with many lights. In a test scene (at 4K) with six shadow-casting spot lights, it went from 11.7ms to 6.8ms per frame. The CPU time went from 1.9 to 1.4 ms. Simple scenes with few lights and low tessellation stay about the same.

Presets DeepSkin comes with the ability to save your own presets. A couple of presets are already included for you to load, or use as base for your own custom preset: |
Include clothing in the SSS Lip layers, makeup, tattoos and nipple layers can be manually included in the SSS, instead of having to mess with the renderqueue. |
Shadows that fade with alpha Transparent and fading clothing casts a shadow that fades smoothly, instead of popping out of existence when alpha reaches 0. |
Transmission Region Painting & Editing Paint your own regions for Ears, Lips, Nose, Face, Torso, Arms, Legs, Hands, Feet, Eyelids, and edit the transmission intensity and density for each of those regions. |
Tessellation Region Painting & Control Also paint your own tessellation masks, edit the how much tessellation is applied, and save your tessellation masks. |
Bones A 46-capsule skeleton casts real bone shadows through hands, with all the capsules being editable |
Match to Skin Color Match the transmission color automatically to your model's skin color |
How to use
Load DeepSkin.cslist on a Person atom or as a Session Plugin
Note on Tessellation and Performance
Tessellation is by far the biggest hit on performance. With only the screen-space SSS and transmission on, DeepSkin costs ~0.46ms per frame. Turning on tessellation, which looks noticeably better, raises that to around 2.4ms per frame (depending on the subdivision factor and painted mask). For VR, or whenever you want as much performance as possible, I recommend turning tessellation off or significantly lowering the tessellation amount. Half-Res Blur in the Performance tab helps as well, especially in VR. DeepSkin's default preset ships with tessellation ON for quality.
