Hi,
I have sss tree leaves and i cant see direct light from emmiters behind invisible part of leaf polygon. Leaf thickness is 2 mm, it is not only single plane. How to make all light visibe Thank You.

I'm looking at daylight render and no problem With same material.

It's a problem with SSS, intersecting geometry, and clipped planes. I would say use single plane clipped planes and remove the SSS.

I agree, sss for trees requires special conditions. There are other ways to achieve good results.

I see in Your gallery images with trees using sss, or is it faked?

you are talking to Bubbaloo, of course it's fake! (not!)

Yes Sorry

Pay no attention to Mr. KurtS... He has a special condition too... J/K Kurt

Yes, I've used it before, but in some tests, I have gotten that same problem as you show, and I haven't found any way to avoid it. So it makes the technique unreliable, and I am hesitant about recommending it now, especially for someone's commercial projects. I just got lucky for the times I have used it.

Well you didn't tell us that before! I've started making plants with thickness! I just wish NL would make another announcement and this one be they are including single sheet SSS in V2.
