Thanks guys! i will now move everyrthing over to a separate thread in the wip section instead. This experiment grown too big to post here as testimages and i don't wanna hijack this thread anymore. I'm sorry!

Btw, your replies will be posted in the new thread and not here.

Here is a more advanced shader-setup, containing more SSS-strength and 2 SSS-components, a volume and a single-side one.

Rendertime is about 2 hrs on a xp64 Quadcore, no postwork:





and with postwork (enhanced shadows and contrast:



and here without albedo-texture to show the 2 SSS-effects only:





I am pretty sartisfied with the skin appearence now (except that I have to tune the maps for the ears a bit further), except that now, with this setup, some parts of the polygon-mesh-structure is visible. Any ideas what causes this (well, it must be caused by the combination of volume-SSS along with single-side-SSS, because it only appears in conjunction of both) and how to solve it ?

Edit: I solved the polygon-problem, the mesh must be thrown in this case into a HyperNurbs-cage (C4D) and the visible polygons are gone. I knew this problem already from FR2 and Vray.

And did you notice, he has eyes now (due to popular demand)

[oscarMaxwell]

Yeah, much better with eyes!

so this mesh is a NURBS geo?
ALSO i DONT think its a combo problem of thinSSS n volume. becasue I get the faceting problem on my Thin SSS renders with only just thinSSS by itself.. it shows on some leaf test i made where i ddint keep the plane straight and I added geo and deformed/bend the plane.. and it also shows up MORE when I apply thinSSS to a closed surface like a ball..
it may be a bug.. because even when I highly smothed or added polys it still did the faceting..

[RK_art]

No, the model itself is a polygon-mesh.
But C4d has a HyperNurbs-Objekt where you can simply throw any poly-mesh in and you have variable smoothness and deformation-options etc.
I had this problem with Vray or FR2-SSS some time ago, and the solution was the HyperNurbs-Cage.
Same does with maxwell.

...just did a very fast render for a friend

Very nice maxwell skin, RK_art.

I am modeling my kitchen. I want to have the model as detailed as possible. I have started with a most important thing. A salt.

[Maximus3D]

AndreD: That's looking great! nice "testrendering"

jurX: That hallway was pretty good, clean and sharp like a Vray rendering

MS: LOL talk about detail! so i guess you will be finished in about 20-24 years with this kitchen

[jurX]

Yeah , that´s right.This would be the most detailed kitchen ever...

[macray]

Yeah , that´s right.This would be the most detailed kitchen ever...

I agree, but keep the renders coming, we're looking forward to see more of these atom-based objects.

[brodie_geers]

Hrm... I think at the atomic scale you'd have more DOF.

MS - salt is great but I think You should put in this salt some divertisity to get rid of this ultra clean CG look
