export variable for each light for an SSS pass

Hi there, 
Just realised that the Mantra surface material doesn't allow for an "Export of variable for each light" for an SSS pass (Single or Multi) - It seems that this feature was never implemented to the shader by sidefx.  Any ideas how one could add this functionality? (or other possible workarounds?) 

 

many thanks,

T

the sss code uses an illuminance loop, so it's baking in the lighting outside of the scope of the main lighting shader (where the different planes get evaluated).

 

not sure if there's any reason the code couldn't be updated to export sss per light, but the export system in the vex code is a bit opaque to me.
