In this tutorial, I show how to create subsurface scattering - for materials like wax, snow, fruit, or skin - using Unreal's Substrate. I also explain related topics like SSS MFP and SSS MFP Scale.
For this tutorial, I used the grapes model and texture from this content pack that you can download for free on the Fab store here:

Once downloaded, the grape assets are in a folder called xk4gejl.
