What Does Our Art Say About Us?

Art is an expression of self. When we listen to our Muse and create a piece of art, the process may carry us to unexpected, surprising, and sometimes scary places. If we are brave enough to look under the surface, we may start to see certain patterns or themes that repeatedly arise in our images. In this way, we see part of our inner-selves.

Have you ever been frustrated with skin that looks flat in Daz Studio? Dull and lifeless? Rubbery with a distinct likeness to that of Gumby? Or maybe it just needs a little bit of pop? Most of the time, any of these issues can be attributed to SSS, or subsurface scattering, and there are a couple easy tweaks that can be made to drastically improve the look of skin in Daz.
