Really nice work.
I feel that i have alot more to learn :shock:

Im currently working on how to solve making an egg shell. I want to illuminate threw the object so I get the object inside to show true by giving a darker area like a real egg. I built it to scale but have problems with the material. Any tips to get there?

You're using an SSS material? It should be pretty easy with SSS, perhaps blending it with a BSDF component. Make sure the shell has some real thickness even if it's really thin.

Here's a Harley I did awhile back but never posted it...not cool enough I didn't think.

Cheers, Ron

That's one of the thing that could be resolved with atmospheric procedural !

I'd make an egg, with a tiny hole somewhere, apply a shell, so that i could play with real SSS materials for the egg shell, and the inside

Do you have a reference you want to reproduce?

It's always a pleasure to (try to) help people here, with my relative knowledges
My yes/no question was about my previous questions that was dying :?
I did my tests and posted them here without explanations, waiting for my answers first.

To answer to you max, my results are not great i know, it's a just study case
I did a sphere, little hole in it to apply a shell, and applied it a SSS
I've put a smaller sphere in it with a Glass material, to simulate kind of egg liquid
I've added a deformed smaller sphere in it, to simulate the yellow part of the egg (dont have the translation for that), with a yellow SSS
An emitter behind, and that's all

So the result is we see through, as Assistant asked previously
