Hi everyone. I'm making my own skin mats right now. However I'm not schooled in the arts of SSS Map making I don't know the "hot spots" I should add redness to... Not on a biological level at least.
Is there a place where I can learn how and where to apply sub surface redness? My goal is to make a pale / blushy skin.

Which renderer? Which shader?
Technically, you do NOT need to have such maps...
iray... And there is maps for iray.
Yes, most of the texture sets from the store do come with them...but set up correctly all that is really NEEDED is a base map (diffuse or albedo), bump and/or normal maps and maybe a specular map.
Here's a couple of threads discussing the pros and cons of 'map vs mapless'...
