This is mostly what people talk about in discussions of creating realistic skin and will also be the main topic in this tutorial. This tutorial has more on how I light my Iray scenes. Part of getting skin to look good, is to light it well.

Materials (including skin) interact with scene lights to produce the final render result. This includes not just the base textures, but also the very important translucency, specular, and bump texture maps. The way skin looks in a render will depend on three key things –

Character Creator 2.The first thing I realized when I started playing around with skin shaders in Daz Studio Iray, is there is no one “right way” to shade skin.

Reallusion would gain revenue from Daz users whereas Daz gains nothing by being the end stage in the pipeline. Maybe they dream of complete monopoly, annihilation of Daz, but how can this happen if they don't even offer anatomical elements? Unless they can make their figure superior in every way, there is no point in restricting Daz users of CC3 content. Reallusion gains revenue regardless of where they are in the pipeline, Daz only gains if you keep using their marketplace. What can Daz do? Daz software is already free. Reallusion could make their own marketplace competitor. Maybe this is good for Daz if CC3 users are dependent on Daz marketplace for content, but who knows if that will be the case in the future. So far they are only accommodating Daz users in one direction, getting Daz content into CC3/iClone.
