Hi all,

Glad to finally have a plug-in for C4D but it looks like we went backwards from the beta except in the rendering times. I know that there are many issues that are already out there and are being worked on but I want to inquire about SSS and absorption. I am not getting ANY SSS under any conditions.

I searched the threads for some insight but it seems that I can't get any changes no matter what I do. Emitter inside the object, emitter behind the object, nothing. This is an image comparing the same scene done in beta and now in RC3. What do I have to do to get my translucent wax back?

Thanks,

D

I can not test it yet, but to my knowledge you need transparency combined with roughness for SSS. I haven't seen any striking SSS examples with the RC though.
