ENBSeriesINI - Subsurfacescattering

ENBSeries INI Reference

Subsurface scattering (SSS) is an effect to give transparent objects, like skin or candle wax, a more transparent look. Light can pass through objects to light the back side or return to the surface to help give off a glow, much like a glowing candle. These settings will vary depending on the texture installed, therefore, authors will often recommend a specific skin texture to use with their ENB Presets.

This feature is Weather compatible!

EnableOldSSS

EnableOldSSS=(false, true)

EnableSeparateInteriorParameters

EnableSeparateInteriorParameters=(false, true)

Amount

Amount=(0.0...)
AmountInterior=(0.0...)

This parameter is the actual amount of SSS that is calculated in game. Raising this number above "1.0" is not recommended, and may look bad in game causing neck seam issues.

Radius

Radius=(0.0...)
RadiusInterior=(0.0...)

This determines the distance at which SSS starts to show up on characters and objects that use it.

Quality

Quality=(0, 1, 2)

This parameter determines the overall performance and quality of SSS. (Reference)

SurfaceBrightness

SurfaceBrightness=(0.0...)
SurfaceBrightnessInterior=(0.0...)

Epidermal

These parameters are for the upper layer, mimicking the upper layers of skin having brighter semi-transparency. Not used by objects like wax candles or milk.

EpidermalAmount=(0.0...)
EpidermalAmountInterior=(0.0...)

EpidermalDiffuseSaturation

EpidermalDiffuseSaturation=(0.0...)
EpidermalDiffuseSaturationInterior=(0.0...)

These parameters apply saturation to the diffuse texture. Normal skin color will turn to red, and it is recommended to only use SubdermalDiffuseSaturation as it fits better with skin lighting.

EpidermalMix

EpidermalMix=(0.0...)
EpidermalMixInterior=(0.0...)

Subdermal

These parameters are for the loser layer, to simulate light passing through a transparent or semitransparent object.

SubdermalAmount=(0.0...)
SubdermalAmountInterior=(0.0...)
SubdermalDiffuseSaturation=(0.0...)
SubdermalDiffuseSaturationInterior=(0.0...)
SubdermalMix=(0.0...)
SubdermalMixInterior=(0.0...)
SubdermalTranslucency=(0.0...)
SubdermalTranslucencyInterior=(0.0...)
SubdermalPhase=(0.0...)
SubdermalPhaseInterior=(0.0...)
