What’s the best way to set VRayFastSSS2 for human skin?

Where should texture maps be plugged in to best effect?

Should the texture map be in diffused and/or overall color

I don’t seem the be able to pump up the sss to get the “glowing ear” effect I was able to get fairly easily with the normal VrayMat sss component.

Thanks!

You can put skin textures into the “sub surface color” slot, as typically they represent what you want your surface to look like.

To get “glowing” ear effect you may need to increase the scatter radius - either for the entire material, or just where you need it through a texture map. Using the “Raytraced (solid)” mode will also help to bring out such areas, although it will take a little bit of the render time.
