How to saturate skin for genesis 8.1

Trash Panda

Hi,

I was wondering what are some ways I can sature the skin without saturating everything else in the scene for a particular genesis 8.1 character.

Thanks!

The surfaces pane :

 

 

I'm a new user like you, so bare in mind this wont be the best solution or explanation. In the screenie i have  Surfaces selected, but for skin, you want the option above "Skin-Lips-Nails".

Then here you can tweak various parameters in surfaces. Base, diffuse, and translucency all seem to have COMPETING/complimentary effects. Some times glossy layer and reflectivity near the bottom too! Say if you raise 'diffuse weight' from zero up to 20%, diffuse colour will now appear just below in the surfaces pane. Make this colour red, and your  skin will now (maybe lol) get a little red. Make diffuse weight 100% and skin should get very red.

Mess with diffuse and transparency some, see if u can get some effects u like, until someone answers this question more professionally.
