does not look like a wall to me..

hehe.. nice try...
(Bubaloo, you can trust me.. Man I was the first one to test papers and thin stuff, way before the release.. it works.. somehow.. but not really practical.... but the next sss... ahhh I've said to much already.. hehe.. soon.. hehe)

hey Leo... your chicken avatar just drinks a coffee the morning.. he needs a nice Scotch in the evening..

You're truly a pioneer. I'm glad you blazed this trail so we could all sit on the shoulders of genius!

[tokiop]

lol the quest for sss shit is a war now

i post here too my sss tests for skin:





a bit strong on big human but with bsdf texture + bones it should be softer.

hold on Bubaloo... it was just an advice.. nothing else..feel free to experiment how you want it..

These are maple leaves which are quite naturally dull with hardly any shininess. S.L.15

Hi sss-master Bubbaloo,

That leaves are fantastic!!
Do I say something wrong if I ask you to share this material, or to tell the settings?

[Bubbaloo]

Thanks! I will post the material to the mxm site when I'm satisfied with it (a little more tweaking). I want to make sure it looks realistic in all natural lighting conditions of the sun.

I have found some interesting and non-intuitive results.
Look at this side by side comparison of SSS and non-SSS leaves:


Left:
SSS Leaves
S.L. 10 @ 800x600
B.M. 59.24
Time: 15m 4s

Right:
Non-SSS Leaves
S.L. 10 @ 800x600
B.M. 40.68
Time: 21m 58s

Also noticed (and this might be another topic) that the shadows do not match exactly from one render to the next. I made no adjustment to the sun! Max Daylight system is used for both renders.

[KurtS]

hi Bubbaloo,

interesting result

Did you close and reopen the scene between these two tests? Could this be the "automatic date adjustment" bug?

[Bubbaloo]

No. It has been open all morning.

tokiop: I really like that sss example you been working on, even if it's a bit creepy looking with a fetus stuck to the forehead like that. some textures and tweaking and that should look real nice.

I think south park was his inspiration

[Bubbaloo]

Here's a strange thing that is happening. Part of the transparent part of the leaves are going opaque on one small part of the render. All the leaves are mapped with the same material.



Can this be explained?

A blowup render of the area is not having this same problem:

[Maximus3D]

Killian: lol good one, i forgot about South Park.

Here's a pretty lame attempt at a sss test i did tonight, it's supposed to look something like a chocolatebar... i guess.
