Hello,

I’m new on V-Ray and on this forum.
I would to know if V-Ray can calculate the SSS of two separate objects like it is just one.
I came from Arnold and the attribute name for that is “SSS set name”.

Thank you.

Hello,

If you add V-Ray object properties to your object, there is an attribute called “SSS Surface ID”, which can be used for a similar purpose. More details are available here:

This can also be done with a V-Ray user attribute on the shape; it must be named “VRay_SSS_SurfaceID”.

Best regards,
Vlado

Just a related question: Which is currently the recommended SSS shader for Vray? The last I heard was “AiSurface”
