V-Ray skin setup

[montyband]

There is been a lot questions on this forum on V-ray sss2 shader especially last few days with appearance of few amazingly realistic human skin renders. After few hour of researching i found my own setings that works for me and i am here to share it with you. Sorry for such disgusting character subject but this bust is all i have at the time for testing this kind of skin. I did not have enough time to finish it so it is still a WIP.
Scale is one of important issues so i am sharing max scene file to so you can align your character head to the size of sphere inside scene.

mh, your settings are confusing me. because you set the diffuse map to 100% and this disabled the scatter effect completely....ah okay..I just saw the diffuse amount... okay that works.
but did you try to use the diffuse map as diffuse-amount map aswell?

Awesome mug. Cool.

Glad to see some one sharing some settings. Can't wait to get in front of my machine to try out the file.

Excellent character,

Does the Maya version of Vray have all these options and is their a rendering anyone can point me to so I could see for myself.

There is one more thing i forgot to mention, it is exposure control.
I am not so experienced with v-ray so i used Logharitmic exposure control with these settings:
