New principled BSDF in Blender 4

it is now impossible to change the transmission roughness

Transmission now uses the general roughness, (that has changed) to do frosted glass use a coat to give the shinny surface.

Why don't they want us to make frosted glass or deep ocean materials anymore?!

Use the general roughness for the transmission and a “coat” for the shinny surface. The coat has it’s own roughness setting to get a shinny surface on top of the rough one. Cycles [Cycles] For Eevee turn on screen-space refraction in render properteis and turn on refraction in the material settings. Eevee [eeve] Another one (that is maybe more of a pain) is the subsurface scattering colour input has gone, there are workarounds but yes more complicated.

Yes you do have to redo some old materials, but they should still be possible.

Edit; sorry I posted this in the wrong thread!

Subsurface Scattering colour

Hi Friends… I used to be able to precisely mix in a texture for the sss colour input… now that it is gone (fix things that aren’t broken, it’s 2023 after all), what awkward work around (using many nodes, probably) do I have to add in order to achieve the same results as with this simple input? …lol Thank you kindly and Merry Xmas.
