Rendering Realistic Figures: A Detailed Look at Skin Shaders Using Iray and MDL

Learn how to add extra realism to the human figures in your application. Creating extremely realistic humans in 3D applications is complex, and we'll walk you through this by showing you iterations we have made and the progress it allowed on getting closer and closer to realistic rendering. After running through the building blocks of earlier versions of our skin shader, we'll take an in-depth look at the latest generation, showing how we built the components needed to really bring your human figures to life and giving you ideas on what you can add.
