  • Sub-surface scattering is something that many of us have heard of but only kind of understand. This video teaches the 4 main types of sub-surface scattering and their characteristics. Schoolism instructor, Sam Nielson, is a highly respected instructor and artist in the gaming industry; his credits include The Hobbit, Disney Infinity, and Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft! Sam has a unique and scientific approach to lighting, which is all based on the physical properties of matter and light!
    (If you are interested in learning more, we highly recommend taking his class ‘Fundamentals of Lighting with Sam Nielson’ on Schoolism! www.schoolism.com/school.php?... )

    This is super helpful, but I think I actually paid too much attention to this last night, when I watched it; I woke up after the most terrible nightmare this morning, where I was chased by a backlit (non-feathered) T-rex, and every time it ate someone, I could see it swallowing people through the skin because it somehow had low density flesh :'( Very scary.
    But I think it means that I really took in the info in the video! XD

      Ahahaha oh no!! But I guess that means the information really stuck with you :P

    I *knew* I was missing something about light. I could see these effects, but I couldn't categorize/explain them. Mind blown!

    THAT was neat!
    I work in 3D and never thought of doing this sort of thing by hand.

    Great lesson! The schemes in the last part really help understand much more clearly how light behaves!
    Thanks!

    Great video! I feel like the only thing we're missing from sub-surface scattering simulations is the complexities of photons themselves, and how a single photon can take multiple paths to it's destination. Out of scope for computers currently though, especially since regular binary computers can't superimpose the state of a bit and thus can't even begin simulating that kind of behavior.

    Just wow man. I knew the concept of SSS but not this detailed. The types of sss on objects and how it will behave with other surface too. Plus the Variable sss was definitely one which i never knew. Super thanks for this demo Bobby. really really reallyy helpful!!

    1:40 Subsurface scattering = Pinball scattering
    The Pinball (light) goes in, bounces around, and gets out.

    The funny thing is that photographers often increased the local contrast to counteract the subsurface scattering effect (wrinkles and pores lit by the inside so less contrast)

    Hi there for the glassy subsurface effect, does the direct light on the top right of the peach have a lighter value than the light that is shining through to the bottom left of the peach?
