- Having seen how the overall diffuse and subsurface color components work together in our material. Lets take a look next at what some of the other controls can bring to the table, by adding a new subsurface scattering material to the list. And then after a applying that to the various pieces of the shader ball geometry. Go ahead and take a render. Now, straight away here I am finding this blown out spot in the image a little bit distracting and so lets dial that down a little by taking a look at the specular controls. Given that the strong backlight that we are using here is accentuating the reflective properties of our material. In the specular roll-out then lets pull the specular amount down to about 0.5 and render again. And whilst we do still have a specula hit, we have toned down the brightness of the reflections by quite a bit. The rest of the controls here, will of course be very familiar as they are pretty much…
