# What materials are the Subsurface scattering templates suitable for? What are the special parameters
After switching to the Subsurface scattering template, most of the parameters are exactly the same as the custom template. The definition of normal, specular, roughness, AO and other parameters refer to the custom template, **matallic parameter adjustment and emissive feature are not supported**.
## Base color/ Base coler map
Control the colour of the light on the surface of the material.
## Scattering color
Controls the color of light being scattered inside the material. The brighter the color, the more translucent the material appears.
## Scattering intensity
The multiplier value of the subsurface color. The larger the value, the more transparent the material appears.
## Sky light
Allow environmental light (sky light and HDRI in the GeoSky) to influence the subsurface scattering effect.
> Note: This option increases the rendering overhead.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.d5render.com/user-guide/material/what-materials-are-the-subsurface-scattering-templates-suitable-for-what-are-the-special-parameters.md?ask=
```
The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
