Finally I got the beta to render to work for more than 15 minutes (simple scene 107 kPolys, shutting down everything else, rendered 6.5 hours before crashing) to test some SSS.



I had to use postpro to remove speckles, the raw render can be found here:

In Postpro I used the "Dust & Scratches" filter and a slight "unsharp mask" to restore the noise then.

C & C welcome

very nice shape you got there! and the postpro is excellent, no need for the patched beta anymore

it's a shame for that white dots in the original render, but you made very nice shapes and soft SSS effect makes them like made of wax!

Interesting and subtle SSS effects Kabe, nice work.

Hopefully tomorrow with be beer day for MAC OS!

Another overnight render with the first beta this time using a SSS plastic... I would love to see a SSS dielectric soon.



With this image I had to use even more postpro to remove speckles, the raw render can be found here:

It looks like the reflection introduced more speckles. I used the "Dust & Scratches" filter with a bigger radius (2px), used that to darken the original image, denoised the result with CS2 "reduce noise".

BTW: It's really a kind of new experience for an OS X user that all other programs must be shut down for another one to stay alive

Can't wait for the Mac beta 1.2.1
