This will be split into parts, this first one is about the shader itself, dealing with EVERYTHING (that I know about it anyway) it does and how it's hooked up. It's problems with regards to passes. So There is a fair bit of info, that may even help you trouble shoot issues. The Fast skin shader is one of the most commonly used shaders for skin, so that's why I'm focusing on it so much here. Topics covered:
1. light maps
2. Mental ray texture node
3. all settings within the MISS fast skin maya node
4. issues with passes and fixing them quickly with the MIA X passes
the next video I'll try to get up soon, will deal primarily with how to make the maps, how to make different skin tones from pale skin to black skin and we may even throw in an eyeball.
Comments, corrections, and questions always welcomed.
