Translucent PP packaging or acoustic foam needs SSS and displacement but luckily can be done without UV co-ordinates also. Even better would be if one could "grow" 3D foam cells procedurally in MS, but a 4K Poliigon texture is a good start also.



Styrofoam with SSS and displacement, also with real scale material and no UV unwrapping. A peculiar bright hotspot in the front cavity. None of the four HDRI emitters seems responsible, as if the material is self-emitting. The cells of moulded/cut EPS need sharper walls nonetheless.

Excellent Tutorials, Andreas ! ! !

Sorry I'm late to see these. Your tutorials are full of useful information about scene sizes and camera settings for close-up work, recommedations for the Simball, and all kinds of good things!

I really enjoyed these.

Cheers, good to hear that there are some useful bits and bobs; there'll soon be a beginner tutorial for translucent plastics and then for common metals also.
