Blender Infographic

An infographic about how you can use the Subsurface Scattering shader in Blender to create abstract colourfull materials. 

“A mechanism of light transport in which light that penetrates the surface of a translucent object is scattered by interacting with the material and exits the surface at a different point. Although it is used to create realistic materials like skin, wax or milk, it can also be used to create soft, abstract and colourful materiais. To do this, choose a base colour and change the values of the radius sliders in the subsurface section to arbitrary numbers.”

The coloured squares indicate the base colours in collums and the values on each row indicate the radius values used on the specific colours
