Good too see the tests again!! Some really great test images with 1.7! Keep it up!

[KurtS]

thanks a lot!

here is a scene for some sss lab-testing. I am trying to see how an sss material can "transport" the light throug a non linear object:

- six separate rooms with sircular openings between some of them.
- one "snake"-object that fits in the sircular openings and connects all the six rooms
- one area light, no global illumination

microstation screen, testing scene (area light in lower right room):


microstation screen. with test object:


Maxwell: area light in lower right room, no"snake":


Maxwell: with snake, frosted glass - no SSS:


Maxwell: with SSS material - specially designed for scattering the light a long distance:

I am running an "extended" test right now, to seee how far the light scatters, here after 10 minutes of rendering:

[Fernando Tella]

[Hervé]

interesting test Kurt...

quick lightsaber test:

[Tea_Bag]

Dam! Thats look better than my go!

[KurtS]

It's just a "cheat", tea_bag - an emitter material with a ghostlayer weightmapped:

[Bubbaloo]

Good idea, though.

[tom]

Very clever!

[KurtS]

thanks, the problem with this method is of course that emitters are one-sided...

[Tea_Bag]

Just Love the way you think out the box KurtS!

[KurtS]

Thanks Tea_Bag!

I've been experimenting a bit with FilterForge and displacement in a new testing scene, and here are some new & old materials from the lab:
