I'm happy to see a lot of contribution to this thread. Thank you Mihai, for pointing out some details on how Maxwell works concerning homogeneous materials and those that are a mix of multiple substances.

Since this sub forum is called "wish list" I'd like to know if I'm the only one who whishes to have a special shader to produce "skin" (or a kiwi?) and if the Maxwell team thinks that it is possible to create such a shader (or even more)?

Regards,
Michael

Of course we are thinking about that. I just wanted to point out why the current sss volumetric material - although very good at what it's ment to do - is not very suitable for skin.

I am mostly into digital characters and so far the skin shading results I was able to get with Maxwell were rather sub-optimal. So, while I love the overall principle of having one shader to rule them all I cant see how I could achieve decent skin renders with the current implementation. I know it is a tough subject and just want to throw my vote out there for the Maxwell render team to take a look and hopefully come up with something. Thanks for the effort!

As you can see in the latest Maxwell Render Reel, sophisticated skin is possible already...
