nice tutorial.. but a question. didnt understand why u want to do this?

is it because u want to be able to use the reflectivity of the mia material and have ur model a bit reflective?

@foof88 reflections is a major part and complete control over how glossy it is, the samples being used along with roughness in the shader. The normal MISSS simply doesn't give you that much control and is faking most of it's reflectivity using specularity.

i use maya 2012 and everytime i use render view after choosing mental array in settings, it crashes, is there a fix?

drag and drop of maya 2d node into bumop crashes mu maya, it works the other way round

thanks this really helped, but just one quick question because i am quite new to maya: how do you change the skin tone so it is slightly darker?
